BGA36090 - 90Amp Circuit Breaker

BGA36090 - 90Amp Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric BGA36090 is a 90 amp, 3-pole PowerPacT B circuit breaker built for your commercial and industrial electrical systems. It provides thermal-magnetic protection to guard circuits against overloads and short circuits. Designed for I-Line panelboards, it fits in a compact space while meeting the current and interrupting ratings required for three-phase systems.

The breaker has ABC phase connections, I-Line line-side terminations, and mechanical lugs on the load side. Dual-break rotating contacts limit peak current during short-circuit events, and the push-to-trip button allows manual testing for routine maintenance or inspections. Rated for up to 525VAC, the BGA36090 handles interrupting currents up to 65kA at 240VAC and 18kA at 600Y/347VAC.
