Eaton Specification Sheet - BG3023SQ
Three-pole design consolidates phase protection into a single block, reducing wiring complexity and increasing panel reliability. This integration cuts installation time and lowers the risk of miswiring during field assembly. It’s well-suited for control panels, motor starters, and compact power-distribution enclosures where space is at a premium. The BG3023SQ supports SC fuse compatibility and provides a consistent, code-compliant foundation for protective circuits in industrial automation environments. With an interrupt rating of 100 kAIC and a short-circuit rating of 100 kA at up to 600 V, the device delivers robust fault protection and safer equipment operation. Such ratings translate to reduced downtime and minimized arc-flash exposure in high-demand industrial settings. This performance profile fits critical applications in conveyors, presses, and packaging lines where reliable protection is non-negotiable and helps meet equipment protection standards during commissioning. Screw/quick-connect terminals handle #14-10 AWG copper conductors, enabling fast, vibration-resistant wiring and straightforward field maintenance. The thermoplastic housing provides durable, temperature-resistant performance in demanding environments, while the compact 3 in length by 2.38 in width footprint simplifies panel layouts. The three-pole arrangement supports neat conductor routing and reduces enclosure space usage, making it easier to retrofit older panels or expand existing control architectures without major redesigns. RoHS compliant, UL Recognized, and CSA Certified, the BG3023SQ aligns with modern procurement and regulatory expectations. This certification suite reduces compliance risk and supplier qualification time, while providing confidence to OEMs and integrators during audits. For design teams, the availability of official datasheets, catalogs, and multimedia resources accelerates validation and testing cycles, shortening time-to-production deployments. Designed for straightforward installation, BG3023SQ supports secure mounting and reliable connections across multiple environments, improving maintenance predictability and reducing service costs over the life of the system.

FAQs
The BG3023SQ uses screw/quick-connect terminals compatible with #14-10 AWG Cu conductors. Mount the block on a suitable panel surface, connect each phase to the corresponding terminal, and secure the SC fuse in the designated position. Ensure wiring is routed neatly to minimize vibration exposure and verify voltage and current ratings match your system requirements before energizing.
It supports 1–20 A per pole, with a 100 kAIC interrupt rating and a 100 kA short-circuit rating at up to 600 V. These ratings indicate strong fault protection for three-phase circuits and resilience against high fault currents, reducing downtime and improving operator safety in industrial environments.
Yes, the BG3023SQ is RoHS compliant and UL Recognized with CSA Certification. This certification set supports regulatory compliance in many regions and simplifies supplier qualification and audits for equipment integrators.
BG3023SQ is designed specifically for SC fuse use with a three-pole configuration, thermoplastic housing, and screw/quick-connect terminals. Its 600 V rating and compatibility with #14-10 AWG Cu wires streamline installation in motor starters and control panels, delivering reliable protection in compact form factors.
The block offers robust protection (100 kAIC/100 kA, 600 V) in a compact footprint, enabling faster panel builds, easier maintenance, and reduced downtime. Compliance with RoHS, UL Recognized, and CSA Certified standards reduces procurement risk and accelerates audits, while the screw/quick-connect wiring simplifies field installation and future modifications.
