Yes. The BGA160705 is rated 347/600V AC, making it specifically suited for Canadian commercial and industrial distribution systems that operate at 600V (line-to-line) or 347V (line-to-neutral). Its 18kA interrupting rating must meet or exceed the available fault current at the point of installation — confirm this with your electrical engineer or authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
