Product FAQs
10 answers
Can I install the BGA36035 in a standard QO or Homeline load center?
No. This breaker features I-Line plug-on mounting and is exclusively compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not fit in QO, Homeline, or NQ/NF series panels.
Does this breaker support field-installable accessories?
Yes. The PowerPacT B-frame design supports various field-installable accessories, including shunt trips, auxiliary switches, and undervoltage releases, without requiring additional panel space.
What legacy Square D breaker series does the PowerPacT BGA36035 replace?
The PowerPacT B-frame series is the modern replacement for the legacy Square D F-frame breakers, including the FA and FH series. It fits into the same I-Line mounting space to simplify retrofits and panel upgrades.
What does the "G" in the BGA36035 catalog number signify?
The "G" designates the interrupting rating tier within the PowerPacT B-frame family. It indicates a specific short-circuit current rating tier, which sits between the lower "D" tier and higher "J" tier breakers.
How is the BGA36035 physically connected within the panel?
This I-Line breaker utilizes a shrouded plug-on jaw for the line-side connection directly to the panel bus. The load side is equipped with mechanical lugs that accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.
Can this breaker be reverse fed?
No. Because it utilizes an I-Line plug-on jaw for the line side and mechanical lugs for the load side, it is physically designed for a specific directional installation and cannot be reverse fed.
Does this breaker include a push-to-trip feature?
Yes. The BGA36035 includes an integral push-to-trip button on the front cover, allowing you to manually trip the mechanism to verify proper operation and exercise the breaker.
Is the BGA36035 rated for continuous operation at 100 percent of its 35A capacity?
No. Like most standard molded case circuit breakers, it is rated for 80 percent continuous duty. Continuous loads should not exceed 28 amps (80 percent of 35A) per National Electrical Code requirements.
What ambient temperature are the thermal trip elements calibrated for?
The thermal-magnetic trip unit in this PowerPacT B-frame breaker is factory calibrated for a 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) free air ambient temperature.
How does the contact mechanism handle short-circuit faults?
PowerPacT B-frame breakers utilize dual-break rotating contacts. This design helps reduce the amount of peak let-through current during a short-circuit fault, enhancing overall equipment protection.
