A dependable solution for industrial facilities, the Square D BGL36080 is an 80A, 3-pole MCCB from the PowerPacT B-Frame series. It provides essential thermal-magnetic (LI) overcurrent protection for commercial switchboards and control panels. Serving as a modern alternative, it substitutes legacy FAL36080 and FHL36080 models. It installs easily using back pan screws or the integrated DIN rail clip.
What does "Unit Mount" mean for the BGL36080 circuit breaker?
Unit mount indicates that this PowerPacT B-frame breaker is designed for traditional back-pan mounting with screws or integrated DIN rail mounting, rather than I-Line plug-on installation.

What does the "G" in the BGL36080 catalog number signify?
In the PowerPacT B-frame nomenclature, the "G" designates the interrupting rating tier, which provides 65kA at 240VAC and 35kA at 480VAC.

The "L" indicates the termination and mounting style. For this PowerPacT B-frame breaker, it specifies a unit-mount construction equipped with lugs on both the line and load ends.
Can I add field-installable accessories to the BGL36080?
