Square D BGL PowerPacT B 1-Pole Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker

The Square D PowerPacT B-Frame BGL is a 1-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breaker built for compact, reliable protection in commercial and industrial distribution systems. This model is offered with a Motor FLA setting selectable from 15A to 30A, so panel builders and contractors can match the breaker to the connected motor load while retaining the same PowerPacT B platform performance. Every option in this family shares a 600Y/347VAC voltage rating, an 18kA interrupt rating at 80% rated application, and UL 489 listing, making the BGL a dependable choice across a range of commercial and industrial branch-circuit and motor-protection applications.

Key Features

  • Motor FLA Range: Available from 15A to 30A, allowing the correct full-load-amp setting to be matched to the connected motor.
  • Trip Unit Technology: Thermal-magnetic (TM-D) trip unit provides dependable overload and short-circuit protection.
  • Poles: 1-pole configuration for single-circuit protection in distribution and panelboard applications.
  • Voltage Rating: Rated 600Y/347VAC for use across a range of commercial and industrial distribution voltages.
  • Interrupt Rating: 18kA breaking capacity supports demanding fault-current environments, with 80% rated application.

Square D BGL16015 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Square D PowerPacT B BGL breaker be used on a 347V single-phase circuit from a 600Y system?
Yes. The BGL is rated 600Y/347VAC, so a single pole landed on one phase of a 600Y/347 wye system is within rating. It is a 1-pole device, so it protects one circuit only; for a three-phase motor you need a 3-pole frame.
2) What interrupting rating does the Square D BGL PowerPacT B breaker have, and will it hold up on a high fault-current service?
18kA breaking capacity at 600Y/347VAC, applied at 80% rating. If your available fault current at the panel exceeds 18kA, this frame is not the right device for that location.
3) Which Square D BGL part number do I order for a 15 amp motor versus a 30 amp motor?
Two Motor FLA settings are offered: BGL16015 for 15A and BGL36030 for 30A. Both sit on the same 600Y/347VAC, 18kA thermal-magnetic platform, so the FLA setting is the only electrical difference you are choosing between.
4) Will the PowerPacT B BGL mount on 35 mm DIN rail in a control panel?
Yes. The BGL clips onto 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail, and it can also be plate mounted by screws if your enclosure has a back pan instead of rail. That makes it workable for panel builders and for fixed-plate retrofits.
5) Is the Square D BGL UL 489 listed for branch-circuit protection, or is it a supplementary protector?
It is UL 489 listed, which is the standard for branch-circuit breakers, so it may be used as branch-circuit protection rather than only as a supplementary device. It also carries CSA C22.2 No 5, NEMA AB1 and EN/IEC 60947-2. Compare that with a supplementary protector such as the ABB ST200M, which is listed to UL1077 and cannot serve as branch-circuit protection.
6) Can I use a Square D BGL to replace an Eaton BAB Quicklag breaker?
No, treat those as different devices. The BAB Quicklag bolt-on breakers are 240V class parts on an Eaton bus, while the BGL is a 600Y/347VAC PowerPacT B frame with Everlink lugs and DIN rail or screw-plate mounting. Neither the voltage class nor the mounting interface matches, so it is not a drop-in on a Quicklag panelboard.
7) What is the closest alternative to the Square D BGL PowerPacT B breaker if I need three-pole protection instead of one?
The Square D BGL PowerPacT B is a 1-pole thermal magnetic breaker, so it protects a single circuit. For a three-pole molded case breaker, the ABB A2A150TT in the A2 Series is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker, and the Eaton BAB-302 Quicklag is a three-pole industrial thermal-magnetic breaker rated 240V. The Eaton matches the BGL on trip technology, thermal-magnetic, while the BGL carries a 600Y/347VAC voltage rating.
8) Can I use a miniature circuit breaker like the ABB ST200M in place of a Square D BGL PowerPacT B?
They are listed to different standards, which decides it. The Square D BGL PowerPacT B is UL 489 listed, the listing used for branch-circuit protection in panelboards and distribution equipment. The ABB ST200M Series miniature breaker is a UL1077 C-curve device, which is a supplementary protector. If the drawing calls for branch-circuit protection, the UL 489 device is the one to use.
9) What wire terminations come on the BGL PowerPacT B breaker?
Everlink lug connections on both the line and load sides. There is no separate lug kit to specify for standard wire termination.
10) Is a thermal-magnetic breaker like the BGL the right choice, or should I be looking at an electronic trip unit?
The BGL uses a thermal-magnetic (TM-D) trip unit. That covers overload and short circuit with fixed characteristics and is the usual pick for motor branch circuits in the 15A to 30A range where you do not need adjustable long-time or ground-fault settings. If you need field-adjustable pickup and delay bands for selective coordination, you want an electronic trip frame instead. For a 3-pole molded case alternative, ZenSupply carries the ABB A2A150TT in the A2 Series and the Eaton Series C K-Frame 400A 3-pole with an interchangeable rating plug.
11) I need a bolt-on breaker for a loadcenter, not a DIN rail breaker. What should I look at instead of the Square D BGL PowerPacT B?
The Square D BGL PowerPacT B mounts by clip-on 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail or by-screws plate, which suits control panels and enclosures. If the panel takes a bolt-on breaker, the Eaton BAB1010 Quicklag is a bolt-on thermal-magnetic circuit breaker and uses the same thermal-magnetic trip technology as the BGL.
12) What do I use instead of the Square D BGL PowerPacT B for a 400A three-pole feeder?
The Square D BGL PowerPacT B covers a Motor FLA range of 15A to 30A in a 1-pole body, so it is a branch-circuit and motor-protection device rather than a feeder breaker. For a 400A three-pole frame, the Eaton Series C K-Frame 6602C72G67 is a 400A 3-pole breaker with an interchangeable rating plug. Larger ABB molded case frames in the set include the XT5 kit MBM334 and the XT4 kit MBB33, both 3-pole.
13) What protection does the BGL front cover offer in a dusty industrial enclosure?
The front cover is rated IP40 to IEC 60529, which covers finger contact and solid objects down to 1 mm but offers no liquid ingress protection. In a wet or washdown area it needs to be inside a suitably rated enclosure.
14) Does the Square D BGL meet RoHS and mercury-free requirements for a government or healthcare procurement spec?
Yes on both counts. The BGL is mercury free and in scope for European RoHS, with an environmental product declaration under reference ENVPEP2311047_V2. Additional product certifications listed include CCC, EAC, IEC, NOM, UL and CSA, plus a CE quality label.
15) Will the Eaton NZM undervoltage release work with a Square D BGL PowerPacT B breaker?
No. The Eaton 10250T-GR is an undervoltage release accessory for Eaton NZM Series molded case breakers, so it is matched to that frame rather than to the Square D PowerPacT B platform. The BGL PowerPacT B is a complete 1-pole thermal magnetic breaker with Everlink lug connections on line and load sides; accessories for it need to be PowerPacT B-Frame items.
16) Will the BGL match the gray finish of the rest of my PowerPacT gear?
The housing is gray, RAL 7016, the same styling used across Square D PowerPacT, so it will look consistent next to other PowerPacT devices in the same panel.
