Product FAQs

8 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the BGA36030 circuit breaker?

It is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, utilizing an I-Line style plug-on connection for the line side bus.

What is the direct replacement for a legacy FA36030 I-Line breaker?

The PowerPacT B-Frame BGA36030 is a modern upgrade and replacement for obsolete 30A, 3-pole F-Frame I-Line breakers like the FA36030. It fits the same I-Line bus while offering higher short-circuit interrupting ratings.

What are the load side lug torque specifications for this breaker?

For 14 AWG to 10 AWG wire, torque the load lugs to 31.9 to 38.9 lb-in. For 8 AWG to 2/0 AWG wire, torque them to 44.3 to 54.9 lb-in.

What is the recommended wire stripping length for the load side lugs?

Strip the wire insulation back 0.79 inches (20 mm) before inserting it into the load side lugs to ensure a secure connection and prevent exposed live conductors.

What does the "G" in the BGA36030 catalog number signify?

The "G" indicates the interrupting capacity level. In the PowerPacT B-Frame series, a G-rated breaker provides 65kA at 240VAC, 35kA at 480VAC, and 18kA at 600Y/347VAC.

How does the thermal magnetic trip unit operate in this breaker?

It utilizes a fixed thermal element to provide long-time protection against sustained overloads, and a fixed magnetic element to deliver instantaneous trip protection against short circuits.

Can the BGA36030 be used in DC electrical systems?

Yes, it is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 20kA, making it suitable for DC control or distribution circuits.

Is the phase connection configurable on this breaker?

No, this specific I-Line breaker features a fixed ABC phase connection for the line side bus.
