Panel & Switchboard Compatibility

The Square D FA24040BC is an FA-frame molded-case circuit breaker (2-pole, 40A, 277V, 18kA interrupt) belonging to the Square D FA/FH/FY series. As an MCCB with a bolt-on mount, it is designed for use in commercial and industrial panelboards and switchboards — not residential loadcentres. It is compatible with Square D panelboards that accept FA-frame bolt-on breakers, including certain NF, I-Line, and compatible Square D distribution panelboards.

  • Frame: FA (100A frame class)
  • Mount: Bolt-on (BC designation)
  • Voltage: 277V AC — suited for single-phase loads on 480Y/277V commercial distribution systems
  • Interrupt: 18kA @ 277V

Compatibility depends on your specific panelboard model and busbar configuration. Send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm fitment.

"BC" stands for bolt-on construction, meaning this breaker uses a bolt-on mounting method to connect directly to the panelboard bus. This is common in commercial and industrial Square D panelboards and provides a more secure mechanical and electrical connection compared to plug-on styles.

Square D's FA-frame series has largely been superseded by newer MCCB lines, making some variants hard to find through standard distribution channels. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers — contact our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver locations or request a quote online and we'll track down available stock for you.

Yes — a breaker rated for 277V AC is suitable for use on lower-voltage systems such as 208V or 240V, as the rating represents the maximum voltage it is approved to interrupt. Always verify that the interrupt rating (18kA) meets or exceeds the available fault current at your installation point, and consult your panelboard documentation for any additional requirements.
