The Square D BGA161251 is a 1-pole, 125A, 347/600V plug-in breaker from the BGA (I-Line) frame series, rated at 18kA interrupting capacity. It is designed for use in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards — a commercial and industrial bus system — and is not intended for residential QO or Homeline loadcentres.
Because I-Line compatibility depends on your specific panelboard model and bus rating, we recommend sending us your panel details and we'll confirm the right fit for your application.
The BGA161251 uses Square D's I-Line plug-in mounting system, making it compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards rated for 347/600V commercial and industrial service. It is not interchangeable with QO or Homeline residential loadcentres. Send us your panelboard model number and we'll confirm compatibility.
Yes — the 347/600V voltage rating makes this breaker well-suited for Canadian commercial and industrial installations, where 347V (phase-to-neutral on a 600V system) is the standard for lighting and other single-phase branch circuits. Always verify your system voltage and panel ratings with your licensed electrician to ensure full CEC compliance.
Availability can vary as Square D periodically updates its I-Line product lineup. Northern Breaker Group specialises in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers, so even if the BGA161251 has been superseded or is difficult to find, we can often source new, reconditioned, or equivalent units.
