The Square D BGA34100 is a 3-pole, 100A, 480Y/277V molded-case circuit breaker from the Square D BGA (I-Line) frame series, rated at 35kA interrupting capacity. As an I-Line plug-in breaker, it is designed to mount in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards — it is not compatible with residential QO or Homeline loadcentres. It is suited for commercial and industrial distribution applications where a 480Y/277V, three-phase supply is present.
Exact panelboard compatibility depends on your specific enclosure and bus configuration. Send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm fitment.
The BGA34100 uses Square D's I-Line plug-in mounting system. It is designed for Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards rated for 480Y/277V, three-phase distribution — not for residential loadcentres such as QO or Homeline. Contact us with your panel model to confirm compatibility.
The Square D BGA frame series is considered obsolete or hard-to-find through standard distribution channels. Northern Breaker Group specializes in sourcing exactly these types of breakers — both new old stock and reconditioned units — for replacement purposes. Reach out for current availability and lead times.
The BGA34100 is rated specifically for 480Y/277V grounded wye systems. While the 480V voltage level is the same, using it on an ungrounded 480V delta system is not recommended without confirming the breaker's suitability for that configuration with a qualified electrical engineer, as interrupting ratings and voltage ratings differ between wye and delta systems.
