Product FAQs
7 answersCan the BGA36045 be used to replace older Square D circuit breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame series was introduced by Schneider Electric to replace legacy 100A FA and FH frame circuit breakers. It fits into the same I-Line panelboard mounting space to simplify retrofits and upgrades.
What type of panelboards are compatible with the BGA36045?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features a plug-on jaw connection that mounts directly to the I-Line bus assembly.
What does the "G" in the BGA36045 catalog number indicate?
The "G" designates the interrupting rating tier within the PowerPacT B-frame family. For this breaker, it indicates a maximum interrupting capacity of 65 kA at 240 VAC, 35 kA at 480 VAC, and 18 kA at 600Y/347 VAC.
Are the lugs on the BGA36045 rated for both aluminum and copper wire?

Is the BGA36045 rated for use in HVAC equipment?
Yes, PowerPacT B-frame circuit breakers are HACR rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Does this breaker require a separate mounting bracket for installation?
