Square D BGA260404 - 40A, 2-Pole, Circuit Breaker

Square D BGA260404 is a dependable 40-amp, two-pole circuit breaker engineered to deliver reliable overcurrent protection in demanding electrical systems.

Designed with a 2-Pole configuration, it safeguards two hot legs in tandem, making it an ideal choice for panelboards, switchboards, and control panels across industrial, commercial, and OEM environments. This versatility supports a wide range of protection scenarios while keeping wiring and installation streamlined.

• Current rating: 40 A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Breaker type: Circuit Breaker
• Applications: panelboards, switchboards, control panels, distribution panels, motor control centers

Why this matters in real-world systems: when protection needs to cover both conductors feeding a branch circuit or motor load, a 2-pole design ensures simultaneous disengagement, reducing the risk of backfeeding and simplifying safety coordination. The Square D BGA260404 is built for consistent performance in heavy-duty duty cycles and is compatible with standard enclosures and mounting patterns used in distribution panels and MCCs.

Use cases to consider:

• Protecting motor power circuits within a motor control center where two hot lines require synchronized protection.
• Providing primary protection for large feeders in compact panelboards without sacrificing protection quality.
• In OEM panel assemblies, delivering a trusted 40A protection device that aligns with established electrical codes and safety standards.

Practical tips for installation and maintenance:

• Confirm compatibility with your enclosure, bus connections, and installation footprint before wiring.
• Regularly inspect for signs of wear, corrosion, or terminal damage and replace as needed to maintain reliable protection.
• Reference the model (BGA260404) during service work to ensure correct trip characteristics and replacement parts are used.

Choose the Square D BGA260404 when you need solid, predictable protection for distribution panels and motor control centers, backed by a trusted name in electrical protection. This 40A, 2-pole circuit breaker delivers straightforward, dependable protection for two hot legs in panelboards, switchboards, and control panels.
