Schneider Electric BDL36040 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

BDL36040 is Schneider Electric's PowerPact B-Frame molded‑case circuit breaker, sized for 40 A and configured as a 3‑pole device intended for 600Y/347 VAC distribution networks, where it protects feeders and equipment in industrial panels. The unit delivers thermal‑magnetic protection with fixed long‑time and instantaneous trip characteristics, providing both overload and short‑circuit protection, and it uses line and load lug terminations for secure, code‑compliant wiring in switchgear and panelboards. Rated to interrupt up to 14 kA at 600 V, the BDL36040 is documented as part of the PowerPact B family and is designed to fit B‑Frame enclosures, enabling modular, scalable distribution solutions in commercial and industrial settings. As a compact 3P, 40A MCCB, it serves practical roles in motor control centers, distribution panels, and protected circuits where reliable overcurrent protection is required without compromising space or accessibility.
