Product FAQs
8 answers
What panelboards accept the BJA260402 breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It features the I-Line plug-in mounting style and cannot be used in standard load centers or QO and Homeline panels.
Can I use this 2-pole breaker in a 3-phase I-Line panelboard?
Yes, 2-pole I-Line breakers can be installed in 3-phase I-Line panelboards. They will connect to two of the three available phases on the bus stack. Ensure your load requires a 2-pole configuration and balance your panel phases accordingly.
What wire sizes and materials are supported by the lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed lugs accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG wire. They are dual-rated for both aluminum and copper conductors, making them versatile for various field wiring requirements.
Does this breaker require a separate mounting bracket for installation?
No. As an I-Line plug-in breaker, it mounts directly onto the I-Line bus stack inside the panelboard. The plug-on jaw connection secures it to the bus without additional mounting hardware.
Can this PowerPacT B-frame breaker be used in DC applications?
Yes, it is rated for up to 250V DC with an interrupting capacity of 50kA. Ensure your specific DC system parameters align with the fixed thermal magnetic trip characteristics.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on this model?
No, the BJA260402 features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It provides standard Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection without adjustable dials.
Is the BJA260402 a suitable replacement for legacy Square D F-frame breakers?
The PowerPacT B-frame series is the modern replacement for legacy F-frame breakers, such as the FA or FH series. When upgrading an older I-Line panel, verify the physical space requirements, as the B-frame dimensions differ slightly from the older F-frame models.
What does the 65kA at 480V interrupting rating indicate for panel safety?
This rating means the breaker can safely clear a fault current up to 65,000 amps at 480V AC without sustaining catastrophic damage. Always verify that the available fault current at your installation point does not exceed this value to maintain code compliance and safety.
