The Square D BJA34040 is a 3-pole, 40A, 480/277V I-Line plug-in breaker belonging to Square D's BJA frame — part of the I-Line series designed for commercial and industrial panelboards and switchboards. It is not intended for residential loadcentres. It is compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards that accept plug-in (I-Line style) mounting at 480/277V with a 65kA interrupting rating.
Panel compatibility depends on the specific I-Line panelboard model, bus rating, and available spaces. Send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm fit before you order.
The BJA34040 uses Square D's I-Line plug-in mounting system, so it installs in Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards rated for 480/277V three-phase service. It is not compatible with QO or Homeline residential loadcentres. Contact us with your panelboard model to verify compatibility.
65kA is a high interrupting capacity suitable for most commercial and many industrial 480/277V distribution systems. However, you should verify the available fault current (AFC) at the point of installation — if your system's AFC exceeds 65kA, a higher-rated breaker will be required. Your electrical engineer or utility can provide the AFC value for your service.
Northern Breaker Group specializes in both current and hard-to-find obsolete breakers. The BJA34040 may be available as new old stock (NOS), reconditioned, or current production depending on inventory.
