Product FAQs
8 answers
Can I install the BGA34100Y in a standard Square D QO or Homeline panel?
No. The BGA34100Y features an I-Line plug-on jaw connection and is engineered strictly for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in standard residential load centers.
How are the terminations configured on this B-Frame breaker?
The line side (ON end) utilizes a plug-on I-Line jaw that mounts directly to the panelboard bus. The load side (OFF end) is equipped with mechanical lugs designed to accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wiring.
What bus phase configuration does this breaker draw from?
As a 3-pole I-Line breaker without specialized phase suffixes, the BGA34100Y comes factory-configured to connect to the A, B, and C phases on the panelboard bus.
Which legacy Square D circuit breaker does the BGA34100Y replace?
The PowerPacT B-Frame BGA34100Y provides a direct, modern upgrade path for the legacy 100A FA-Frame FA34100 I-Line circuit breaker.
Is the BGA34100Y rated for 100 percent continuous load operation?
No, like most standard commercial molded case circuit breakers, it is rated for 80 percent continuous current operation.
Is the BGA34100Y approved for HVAC equipment protection?
Yes, it is HACR rated, meaning it is tested and certified for safe use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
What type of internal contact mechanism does the BGA34100Y use?
It is built with dual-break rotating contacts. This design rapidly limits let-through current during a short-circuit fault, providing enhanced protection for downstream electrical equipment.
Does the BGA34100Y include a manual testing feature?
Yes, it is equipped with a built-in push-to-trip button on the front cover. This allows panel builders and electricians to manually trip the mechanism and verify correct mechanical operation prior to commissioning.
