Schneider Electric BDA160701 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric's Square D PowerPact B-Frame BDA160701 is a 1-pole molded case circuit breaker rated for 70 A and designed for 347 V AC (600Y/347 VAC) power distribution, providing reliable overload and short-circuit protection in industrial panels. It employs thermal-magnetic trip protection and uses I-Line mounting for compact, plug-in installation within PowerPact B assemblies. The interrupting capacity varies with voltage, typically around 14 kA at 600Y/347 VAC, with higher or lower ratings at other voltages (for example 18 kA at 480 VAC and 25 kA at 240 VAC), depending on system conditions. As a standard Square D/Schneider Electric device, BDA160701 protects feeders and branch circuits in commercial and industrial equipment, helping safeguard wiring and connected loads from overloads and faults.
