BDA36020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

BDA36020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric BDA36020 PowerPacT™ B-Frame Circuit Breaker provides dependable protection for commercial and industrial electrical systems in a compact, easy-to-install design. Rated at 20 amps with a 3-pole configuration, it helps protect your equipment and circuits from overloads and short circuits while fitting efficiently into I-Line panelboards and switchboards. Designed for everyday performance, the BDA36020 uses dual-break rotating contacts to help you reduce peak current during fault conditions, which can help protect connected equipment from unnecessary stress. The built-in push-to-trip button also makes routine testing and troubleshooting simple for maintenance teams and electricians.
