The Square D BGA161005 is a 1-pole, 100A, 347/600V plug-in breaker from Square D's BGA frame series, rated for 18kA interrupting capacity. This is an industrial/commercial-grade molded-case circuit breaker intended for use in compatible Square D panelboards and switchboards rated for 347/600V systems — it is not a residential loadcentre breaker.
The BGA161005 uses a plug-in mounting style and is designed for Square D panelboards that accept the BGA frame series at 347/600V. Because BGA-compatible boards vary by vintage and configuration, we recommend sending us your panelboard model number so we can confirm the fit before you order.
Yes — the 347/600V voltage rating makes the BGA161005 well suited for 347V single-phase branch circuits, which are common in Canadian commercial and industrial lighting systems. Its 18kA interrupting rating meets the fault-current requirements of most such installations, but always verify with your engineer or AHJ.
