Built for industrial power distribution, the FA26090BC is a 2-pole, 90A molded case circuit breaker with a B-C phase connection. It utilizes thermal-magnetic trip technology to safeguard electrical systems against overloads and short circuits. The breaker installs into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. If a newer alternative is required, it crosses over to the PowerPact HDA260903. It features an 18 kAIC rating at 480VAC, HACR certification, and a Visi-Trip indicator.
What is the modern replacement for the Square D FA26090BC?
The FA26090BC is a legacy F-frame breaker. Its direct modern equivalent is the Square D PowerPact H-frame HDA260904. The PowerPact replacement maintains the 90A rating, 2-pole configuration, and BC phase connection for I-Line panelboards.
What does the BC suffix indicate on this circuit breaker?
The BC designates the specific phase connection for the I-Line bus. This 2-pole breaker is factory-configured to connect to the B and C phases in your panelboard or switchboard.
How does the FA26090BC mount into the panel?
It utilizes an I-Line style plug-in connection, which allows the line side of the breaker to plug directly into the busbar of an I-Line panelboard. The load side features standard mechanical lugs for wire termination.
Can the FA26090BC be installed in standard residential load centers?
No. This is an industrial F-frame molded case circuit breaker with an I-Line plug-in mounting style. It is exclusively compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, and will not fit in QO or Homeline residential panels.
Is the FA26090BC suitable for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes. While commonly used in AC systems up to 600VAC, this thermal-magnetic breaker is also rated for 250VDC applications, providing a 10kA interrupting capacity for DC circuits.
Are the trip settings on the FA26090BC adjustable?
No. This breaker utilizes a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It delivers standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) overcurrent protection, but the trip thresholds cannot be adjusted in the field.
What wire sizes are compatible with the FA26090BC lugs?
The standard factory lugs accept 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper wire, or 12 AWG to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire. Always verify that your conductors are sized appropriately for the 90A rating and torque the lugs to the manufacturer specifications.

Great company
Ordered on a Saturday evening, paid for two day shipping and it arrived on time and in perfect condition. Would 100 percent be using this company going forward, beat out pricing and shipping times for all my local supply houses. Plus the staff were great to deal with.

Professional Service
So far, so good! The circuit breaker was installed along with a new compressor for our church AC, and everything is now working well.
The company has been professional, dependable, and reputable throughout the process. I had a question after the installation, and it was answered immediately. I also appreciated that they followed up and asked for feedback to make sure the new part was working properly and that we were satisfied with the service.
It’s refreshing to deal with a company that not only has quality products but also cares about its customers after the job is completed. I would definitely recommend them!

As good as new
The Square D FA32100 circuit breaker (refurbished) was as good as a new breaker, without exception. There was no wear and tear or any marks at all. It was basically new. It is an excellent choice and a great product without having to pay the cost of a new breaker.
