BGA24030Y2

The BGA24030Y2 is a Square D PowerPact B-frame molded case circuit breaker rated for 30 amps at 480 with 2 poles, designed to provide compact, dependable circuit protection in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. With a breaking capacity of 35kA@480V, it can safely interrupt the fault currents found on typical commercial and industrial systems. The BGA24030Y2 uses a thermal-magnetic trip that provides long-time and instantaneous protection. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic element trips instantly on a short circuit, so the breaker can clear a fault quickly and still tolerate the brief surges that equipment draws at startup. PowerPact B-frame breakers use dual-break rotating contacts to reduce peak current during a short circuit, and a push-to-trip button in the cover lets the breaker be tripped manually for testing. Mechanically, the BGA24030Y2 is an I-Line breaker with a shrouded plug-on jaw on the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side. It has a continuous current rating of 80 percent and a factory-set phase connection, which is identified by the last digit of the part number and sets which phases of the panelboard bus the breaker connects to. PowerPact B breakers comply with UL, CSA, NOM, and IEC standards and are CE marked. Because Square D builds this breaker with different phase connections, it is worth confirming the part number and phase connection against your panelboard before ordering. This makes the BGA24030Y2 a practical choice for electricians and facility teams who need to replace or add an I-Line breaker and keep an existing panelboard running.
