The Square D BDA34090 is an I-Line plug-in breaker from the BDA frame series, rated 3-Pole, 90A, 480Y/277V, 18kA. It is designed to plug into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards — a commercial and industrial bus system, not compatible with residential QO or Homeline loadcentres. Typical applications include multi-wire branch circuits, feeder protection, and motor branch circuits in commercial or light-industrial distribution equipment.
Not sure if this breaker fits your panelboard? Send us your panel model and we'll confirm compatibility.
The BDA34090 uses Square D's I-Line plug-in connection, so it is designed for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards — commercial/industrial distribution equipment that accepts the I-Line bus stab interface. It is not interchangeable with residential QO or Homeline loadcentres. If you're unsure whether your panelboard accepts I-Line breakers, send us the panel model and we'll confirm.
Availability on BDA-frame breakers can vary. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers, and we maintain an extensive inventory of Square D commercial and industrial breakers across our Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver locations. Contact us for a quote and current stock status — we can often source units that are no longer available through standard distribution channels.
Yes. The BDA34090 is rated for 480Y/277V 3-phase systems with an 18kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for motor branch-circuit and feeder protection in commercial and industrial applications. However, for motor protection specifically, you should verify that the breaker's trip characteristics meet the motor's full-load amperage and starting current requirements per CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) Section 28, or consult your engineer of record.
