It features a non-interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) protection functions, dual-break rotating contacts to reduce peak current during short-circuit events, and an I-Line style plug-in mounting design with ABC phase connection for fast installation into compatible panelboards. The load side terminates in mechanical lugs, and the breaker includes an integral push-to-trip button for manual testing. Rated 600Y\/347VAC and UL 489 listed, the BDA36050 is a direct fit replacement or new-install option for facilities standardizing on Square D PowerPacT B distribution equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSquare D \/ Schneider Electric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowerPacT B-Frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBDA36050\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Poles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3-Pole\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600Y\/347 VAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterrupting Rating (AIC)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25kA @ 240VAC | 18kA @ 480VAC | 14kA @ 600Y\/347VAC | 10kA @ 250VDC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrip Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThermal Magnetic, Non-Interchangeable, LI (Long-Time + Instantaneous)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous Current Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80% Rated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFixed Magnetic Trip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHold: 480A \/ Trip: 720A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI-Line Plug-In, ABC Phase Connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine (ON end): I-Line \/ Load (OFF end): Mechanical Lugs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWire Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAWG 14 – AWG 2\/0, Aluminum\/Copper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical Life\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20,000 cycles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical Life\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10,000 cycles @ 440V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStandards \/ Approvals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUL 489 Listed, CSA Certified, IEC Rated, NOM, CCC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H x W x D)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e137mm x 81mm x 89mm (5.39\" x 3.19\" x 3.5\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.315 kg (2.9 lbs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does \"non-interchangeable trip\" mean on the BDA36050?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt means the thermal magnetic trip unit is factory-set and permanently fixed to the breaker frame — it cannot be swapped for a different trip rating like interchangeable-trip breakers allow.
