Schneider Electric BDL36070 PowerPact Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric PowerPact BDL36070 is a 70A, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker in the PowerPact B family, designed to protect distribution panels from overloads and short circuits. In the standard U.S. configuration, it is rated for 600Y/347 VAC with a 14 kA interrupting capacity and features lug termination for secure connections in PowerPact B-frame installations, using a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism for precise protection. A variant of this model, the BDL36070LU, is specified for up to 18 kA interrupting capacity at 480/440 VAC and includes UL/IEC compatibility with EverLink lug options for higher-energy systems. The PowerPact B architecture emphasizes compatibility with a range of PowerPact accessories and efficient protection of 70 A circuits in industrial control panels and switchgear. Typical applications include panel feeders and motor-control circuits in commercial and light-industrial environments where reliable 3-pole protection is required.
