BGA36020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

BGA36020 - 20Amp Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric BGA36020 is a 20A, 3-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breaker from the PowerPacT B series, designed for you to use in compatible I-Line panelboards and electrical distribution systems. It provides overcurrent protection for three-phase circuits and is commonly used in commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities where maintaining the correct breaker ratings and panel compatibility is important.

Featuring an I-Line connection on the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side, the BGA36020 is designed to fit your applications that require a 20-amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. Its thermal-magnetic trip unit responds to overloads and short circuits, while dual-break rotating contacts help manage fault current during interruption. A built-in push-to-trip button allows for manual testing during routine inspections and maintenance.

With interrupting ratings up to 65kA at 240VAC and 18kA at 600Y/347VAC, this breaker is commonly found in electrical distribution equipment serving manufacturing facilities, office buildings, schools, healthcare campuses, and other commercial properties.
