Special features
BFD with no lights (trips switch), handle suitable for 6'6" requirements
Feature: High-current protection up to 2500A enables reliable isolation of large motor feeders in demanding environments. Business impact: reduces the need for multiple devices in parallel, simplifies protection coordination, and lowers total installed cost while improving system availability. Application: ideal for switchgear, MCCs, and process plants where high fault currents and fast tripping are a must. Feature: Three-pole, three-wire configuration with fusible protection minimizes fault paths and ensures consistent voltage drop across phases, improving diagnostic accuracy during maintenance. Application: suits large motor feeders and distribution panels in heavy industry. Feature: Top feed fuse configuration with no ground fault design simplifies wiring, reduces conduit runs, and enhances safety during live maintenance. Application: plant-wide motor control and protection schemes. Feature: UL Listed certification and broad NEMA compatibility (1, 3R, 4, 12) support compliance in diverse environments. Application: preferred for aerospace, oil & gas, and manufacturing facilities. Feature: Optional features per catalog notes—Ground Fault Relay, Blown Fuse Detection, Single Phase Protection, Auxiliary Contacts, Kirk Provisions—enable scalable protection without overhauling existing equipment. Application: gradual upgrade paths for aging switchgear. Feature: Heavyweight, robust construction (205 lb) provides mechanical stability in elevated-duty installations; compatible with standard mounting and support structures. Application: long-term reliability in MCCs and power distribution centers. Installation considerations: 17 in depth, 28 in height, 28 in width offer predictable footprint; plan for safe lifting and proper hoist gear in restricted spaces. Catalog notes: optional features can be added to meet specific protection requirements without redesigning the enclosure.
