The BDA160251 SQUARE D Circuit Breaker is a single-pole, 25A unit designed for 347/600V applications. Ideal for commercial and industrial use, it provides reliable protection against overloads and short circuits. This high-quality breaker ensures optimal performance in your electrical systems, making it a dependable choice for various hot tub and motor starter applications.
The BDA160251 is designed for Square D I-Line panelboards that accommodate plug-in BDA-frame breakers at 347/600V. It is a commercial/industrial device and is not suitable for residential QO or Homeline loadcentres. Contact us with your panelboard model number and we'll verify compatibility before you order.
At 347/600V, the BDA160251 carries a 14kA interrupting rating, which meets the fault-current requirements of many commercial branch circuits in Canada. However, you should always verify the available fault current (AFC) at the point of installation against your system's short-circuit study. If your panel has higher AFC levels, a higher-rated frame may be required — our team can help you select the right option.
Yes — the BDA160251 is well suited for motor starter branch circuits and similar commercial loads at 347/600V single-phase. For motor applications, confirm that the breaker's trip characteristics are appropriate for the motor's locked-rotor current; in some cases an inverse-time or motor-rated breaker may be specified. For hot tub or spa applications in a commercial setting, ensure compliance with the applicable CEC rules for that equipment type. Reach out to our team if you need guidance on the right breaker for your specific load.
