The Square D BDA160201 is a plug-in, single-pole 20A breaker rated for 347/600V with a 14kA interrupting capacity, placing it firmly in the commercial and industrial category. The BDA frame is designed for use in Square D NQ, I-Line, and compatible 347/600V-rated panelboards — not standard residential loadcentres. Confirm your panelboard's bus and frame acceptance before ordering. Send us your panel model and we'll confirm compatibility.
Unlike QO or Homeline breakers, which are rated for 120/240V residential applications, the BDA160201 is rated for 347/600V — the standard commercial and industrial voltage in Canada. It is specifically designed for protecting branch circuits in 600V-class panelboards, making it suitable for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and multi-unit residential (MDU) common-area panels fed at 347/600V.
Northern Breaker Group specializes in hard-to-find and obsolete breakers. Whether the BDA160201 is a current production or discontinued unit, our team sources both new and reconditioned stock. Contact our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counter — or submit a quote request — and we'll confirm availability and lead time for you.
Cross-frame or cross-brand substitutions on 347/600V panelboards require careful verification of voltage rating, interrupting capacity, frame size, and plug-in bus compatibility. A substitute must be approved for the specific panelboard model to remain CSA/UL compliant. Our technical team can help identify a suitable direct replacement or an approved equivalent — reach out with your panel details and we'll advise.
