Product FAQs
8 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the BGA34080Y breaker?
This PowerPacT B-Frame breaker features an I-Line style plug-on connection and is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards.
What type of line and load connections are standard on this MCCB?
The BGA34080Y features shrouded I-Line plug-on jaws on the line side for direct busbar mounting, and mechanical lugs on the load side that accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
What phase connection does this 3-pole I-Line breaker use?
The BGA34080Y is configured for a standard ABC phase connection, allowing the shrouded line-side jaws to connect to all three phases simultaneously on the I-Line bus.
Are the magnetic trip settings adjustable on the BGA34080Y?
No, this thermal-magnetic breaker features fixed trip elements. The factory-set magnetic hold current is 800A, and the magnetic trip current is fixed at 1200A.
Is this circuit breaker rated for 100 percent continuous load?
No. Standard PowerPacT B-Frame circuit breakers like the BGA34080Y have a continuous current rating of 80 percent, in accordance with standard NEC application guidelines for molded case breakers.
Does this PowerPacT B-Frame breaker include a manual trip mechanism?
Yes, it features an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover, allowing electricians to manually test the tripping mechanism and mechanical linkage during routine maintenance.
How does the internal contact design handle short-circuit faults?
The BGA34080Y is equipped with dual-break rotating contacts. This design rapidly repels the contacts during a fault, limiting let-through energy and reducing peak current before the short circuit can fully develop.
Can field-installable accessories be added to the BGA34080Y?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-Frame platform supports a variety of field-installable auxiliaries and accessories, allowing the breaker to be configured for specific control panel or power distribution applications.
