Square D BGA260502 - 50A, 2-Pole, Circuit Breaker

Meet the Square D BGA260502 — a 50A, 2-pole circuit breaker designed for robust overcurrent protection in demanding electrical environments. Built to slot into panelboards, switchboards, and control panels, this unit delivers dependable safety for industrial, commercial, and OEM applications where reliable operation matters most.

Why a 2-pole breaker matters

The two-pole design ensures simultaneous disconnection of both hot lines, delivering comprehensive protection for 120/240V circuits and critical distribution feeders. With a 50-amp rating, it handles substantial motor and feeder loads while minimizing nuisance trips during normal startup surges.

Key features

• Current rating: 50 A for dependable protection of medium-sized loads and motor circuits.
• Pole configuration: 2-Pole design enables simultaneous disconnection for enhanced safety and code compliance.
• Type: Circuit Breaker from the Square D BGA family, engineered for seamless integration into panelboards, switchboards, and control panels.
• Application scope: Ideal for industrial facilities, commercial installations, and OEM equipment builds requiring reliable overcurrent protection.

Ideal use cases

Deploy this 50A, 2-pole breaker to protect feeders and motor circuits in:

• New installations in panelboards and switchboards needing a robust, easily replaceable protection device.
• Retrofits in existing control panels that require a conformant, dependable 2-pole protection solution.
• Motor control centers (MCCs) where safe, simultaneous disconnect is essential during maintenance or fault conditions.

What sets it apart from generic breakers

Choosing Square D brings a trusted heritage of reliability in critical infrastructure. The BGA260502 pairs with the broader Square D ecosystem, simplifying parts sourcing, maintenance, and compatibility across multiple panels and OEM builds. This means less downtime, streamlined stocking, and consistent performance in your electrical distribution system.

Practical integration tips

• Confirm panel compatibility with Square D BGA-series devices to ensure a proper fit and reliable operation.
• Plan conductor routing to promote efficient heat dissipation and stable trip performance.
• Maintain a small inventory of 2-pole breakers for rapid replacements in high-availability environments like MCCs and service panels.
