Providing reliable circuit protection, the Square D BGA36090 delivers 90A of thermal-magnetic overcurrent defense. As part of the PowerPacT B-Frame family, it safeguards commercial electrical systems. The breaker utilizes an I-Line plug-on configuration, allowing it to mount securely into Square D I-Line panelboards. It functions as a drop-in upgrade for legacy FH36090 breakers. With an interrupting capacity of 35kAIC at 480V, it offers fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip settings.
What type of panelboards are compatible with the BGA36090?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features a plug-on I-Line connection on the line side and standard mechanical lugs on the load side.
Does this breaker replace older Square D FA or FH frame breakers?
Yes, the PowerPacT B-frame series is the modern replacement for legacy Square D F-frame breakers, including the FA and FH series, in I-Line panels. Always verify physical space and interrupting ratings before upgrading your system.
How does the I-Line mounting system work on this breaker?
The I-Line system uses a plug-on design where the breaker's line-side jaws push directly onto the panelboard bus stack. This allows for faster installation and eliminates the need for line-side wire connections or mounting hardware.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the load side lugs?
The factory-installed load lugs accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation as outlined by Schneider Electric.
Is the trip unit on the BGA36090 adjustable?
No, this specific model features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection without adjustable dials.
Can the BGA36090 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this PowerPacT B-frame breaker is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 20kA at that voltage.
What does the 35kAIC rating at 480V indicate for panel safety?
The 35kAIC rating means the breaker can safely interrupt a fault current of up to 35,000 amps at 480VAC without sustaining catastrophic damage, ensuring panel and personnel safety during severe short circuits.
