The Square D BGA160503 is a 1-pole, 50A, 347/600V plug-in circuit breaker from the BGA (BG-frame) series, rated 18kA interrupting capacity. This is a commercial/industrial-grade breaker designed for use in Square D panelboards and distribution switchboards that accept BG-frame plug-in breakers — it is not intended for residential QO or Homeline loadcentres. Its 347/600V rating makes it well-suited for Canadian three-phase commercial distribution panels operating on a 347/600V wye system. Send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm fitment.
The BGA160503 is rated for 347/600V, which is the standard commercial and industrial three-phase wye voltage system used throughout Canada. The 347V single-pole rating means it is suitable for protecting 347V branch circuits — common in Canadian commercial lighting and HVAC systems — making it a code-compliant choice for those applications under the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
The BGA160503 belongs to Square D's BG-frame series, and other BG-frame breakers share the same mounting footprint. However, amperage, pole count, voltage rating, and interrupt rating (18kA in this case) must all match your application requirements. Always verify the exact replacement part number against your panelboard's breaker schedule before substituting. Contact our team and we'll help identify the right match.
Certain BG-frame Square D breakers can be difficult to source through standard distribution channels. Northern Breaker Group specialises in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers, and we maintain stock of legacy Square D commercial breakers. Reach out to our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters for availability — we can also assist with sourcing reconditioned or new-old-stock units if required.
