Panel Compatibility

The Square D BDA34070 is an I-Line plug-in breaker, designed to mount in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards (such as the NQ, NF, and I-Line series enclosures) used in commercial and industrial installations. It is not compatible with QO or Homeline residential loadcentres. Its 480Y/277V, 3-pole, 18kA rating makes it suited for typical Canadian commercial distribution systems fed from a 480V wye transformer secondary.

Panel compatibility can vary by bus configuration and enclosure generation — send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm fit.

The BDA34070 uses the Square D I-Line plug-in mounting system, making it compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards (e.g., NQ, NF, and similar I-Line series enclosures). It is not designed for residential QO or Homeline loadcentres. If you're unsure whether your panel accepts I-Line plug-in breakers, send us the panelboard model number and we'll confirm compatibility.

18kA AIC (Ampere Interrupting Capacity) is suitable for many commercial and light industrial branch and feeder circuits on 480Y/277V systems where available fault current has been confirmed at or below that level. For installations with higher available fault current — common closer to large transformers or main distribution — a higher AIC-rated breaker may be required. We recommend verifying your system's available fault current with your engineer or utility before specifying.

Availability of specific I-Line frame breakers like the BDA34070 can vary.
