The BGA160505 uses Square D's I-Line plug-in mounting system and is compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards designed for 347/600V service — such as the NF, PG, and similar I-Line commercial/industrial enclosures.

Yes. The BGA160505 is rated for 347/600V, making it well-suited for 347V phase-to-neutral circuits commonly used in Canadian commercial lighting systems fed from a 600V wye distribution system. Its 18kA interrupting capacity meets the fault-current requirements of most commercial lighting panels.
