BGA160201 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

BGA160201 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric BGA160201 PowerPacT B-Frame circuit breaker is a 20 amp, 1-pole breaker designed for electrical distribution systems that demand dependable circuit protection in a compact footprint. Whether you're maintaining an existing panel, replacing a breaker, or working on a new installation, matching the correct ratings and connection style is essential—and that's exactly where this breaker fits in.

Built with thermal-magnetic trip technology, the BGA160201 helps protect circuits from overloads and short circuits while supporting a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. Its I-Line mounting design allows for installation in compatible panelboards, while dual-break rotating contacts help limit the peak current that can occur during fault conditions. An integrated push-to-trip button provides a simple way to manually test breaker operation when needed.

Rated at 20 amps with interrupting capacities up to 65kA at 240VAC and 18kA at 600Y/347VAC, this breaker is commonly found in electrical distribution equipment serving offices, manufacturing facilities, schools, healthcare buildings, and other commercial environments. Like other PowerPacT B-Frame breakers, it was designed for long service life in properly maintained electrical systems.
