PowerPact B Molded Case Circuit Breakers

PowerPact B: Optimized for Your Application

The PowerPact B-frame circuit breaker provides economical thermal-magnetic circuit protection in a compact size. It offers unique values to electrical system designers and installers, along with a wide range of accessories, auxiliaries, and lug options.

PowerPact B Ratings and Types
- Available in 1, 2, 3, and 4-pole unit mount construction and 1, 2, and 3-pole I-Line™ construction
- Cost-effective fixed thermal-magnetic trip units from 15-125A up to 600Y/347 Vac
- Interrupting ratings include: D-18 kA, G-35 kA, and J-65 kA at 480 Vac
- Unique I-Line construction mounts into Square D™ panelboards and switchboards. Designed to the same 1.5" per pole widths as the legacy F-frame, simplifying substitution without blank fillers
- Unit mount (aka: lug-lug) construction is 30% smaller in size, with 25% more capacity than the legacy unit-mount F-frame design
- Where to buy

PowerPact B circuit breakers are made for commercial applications and segments like:
- Control Panels
- Commercial Equipment
- Industrial Machines
- Electrical Distribution Equipment
- Buildings & Facilities
Green Premium is the only label that allows you to effectively develop and promote an environmental policy while preserving your business efficiency. More than 75% of Schneider Electric manufactured products, including PowerPact B, have been awarded the Green Premium ecolabel.

EverLink Patented Technology
PowerPact B-frame devices feature EverLink lugs, a new cable connection method with wire creep-compensating technology built directly into the lug. This standard lug option minimizes loose wiring caused by wire strand deformation, vibration, and shocks.
The patented design maintains low-resistance connections for continuity of service, even with fine stranded conductors.
- Reduce the loosening of cables over time using a spring tension design
- Rated for bare use with fine-stranded conductors up to Class K
- Available with unique integrated control wire terminals

Easy Unit Mount Construction for Flexibility and Versatility

PowerPact B doesn’t require DIN rail brackets, and can be mounted easily on a grid, on a DIN rail, or directly to a backpan. Unit mount construction features integrated DIN rail mounting, and traditional back pan mounting with screws, offering flexibility for the panel builder.

A hinged front cover allows a wide variety of field-installable accessories such as external operators with NEMA and IEC style rotary mechanisms, door shaft operators, and auxiliary contacts.

No More DIN Rail Brackets

Speed up your installations. PowerPact B can be mounted easily on a grid, on a DIN rail, or directly to a backpan.

Easy Unit Mounting Options

See how simply PowerPact B screw mounts to enclosure backpans or clips onto DIN rails - no DIN rail adapter plates needed.

Reliable External Operators

Operate with confidence
- A broad offering of NEMA and IEC style rotary operating mechanisms designed to be used as main panel disconnects for control panel applications are available for PowerPact B
- The new NFPA 79 compliant open door shaft operator works with PowerPact B, H, J and L-frame operating mechanisms up to 600A

PowerPact B for I-Line Panelboards

A screwdriver is all you need to install an I-Line PowerPact B circuit breaker, making installation fast and easy. Circuit breakers ratchet firmly onto the bus stack with captive retaining screws to secure the circuit breaker to the mounting pan.

I-Line PowerPact B circuit breakers can be accessorized in the field, and can be installed in new or existing I-Line panelboards. This makes it easy to upgrade legacy panelboards with modern standards and features.
