Square D BGA36080 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

As an I-Line breaker, the BGA36080 features a plug-on connection for the line side that mounts directly to the panel bus. The load side includes factory-installed mechanical lugs that accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper wire.

Yes, the PowerPacT B-Frame series is designed as the modern replacement for legacy F-Frame I-Line breakers, such as the FA and FH series. The B-Frame maintains the same I-Line mounting space dimensions to allow direct retrofit into existing panelboards.

The "G" designates the interrupting rating tier within the Square D PowerPacT B-Frame family. For this specific model, the G-tier guarantees a short-circuit current rating of 65 kA at 240 VAC, 35 kA at 480 VAC, and 18 kA at 600Y/347 VAC.

No. This 80-amp breaker utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip points. If your application requires field-adjustable trip curves, you must select a breaker equipped with a Micrologic electronic trip unit instead.

No. The BGA36080 features an I-Line style plug-in connection designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will not mount in NQ or NF panelboards, which require bolt-on or different plug-on frame types.

Yes, this 3-pole breaker carries a DC interrupting rating of 20 kA at 250 VDC. This makes it suitable for specific industrial control, transportation, or battery system panels that accept I-Line plug-on breakers.

No separate mounting kit is required. The breaker comes with the standard I-Line plug-on bracket and jaw assembly on the line side, allowing it to snap and screw directly onto the panelboard bus assembly.

Yes. While it has a maximum rating of 600Y/347VAC, it is fully compatible with lower voltage 3-phase systems. When used on a 208Y/120VAC or 240VAC system, the interrupting rating increases to 65 kA.
