Square D BDA160253 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

Square D BDA160253 is a single-pole molded-case circuit breaker from Schneider Electric’s Square D brand, designed to protect a single branch circuit inside compatible distribution panels and enclosures. This catalog number specifies a 25-amp continuous current rating and a compact 1-pole form factor, enabling straightforward integration in space-constrained panels while delivering reliable overload and short-circuit protection. The device is rated for 347 VAC in this variant and utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism to respond to overcurrent conditions with fast, predictable isolation of the fault, helping to maintain system integrity and downstream equipment safety. Suitable for commercial and light industrial applications, it is intended for use with Square D enclosure styles that accept molded-case breakers, including circuits such as lighting, receptacle banks, or small motor loads, where compact protection is required without sacrificing performance.
