BF240 - 40Amp Circuit Breaker Description
BF240 - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker
The BF240 is a 40-amp, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for use in 120/240VAC panelboards that require a BLF frame breaker. It provides standard thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection for branch circuits and is rated for 10kA interrupting capacity at 120/240VAC. If you’re replacing an existing breaker and need the same amperage, pole configuration, and frame type, the BF240 is built to match the original form and fit. This breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for heating and air conditioning equipment, and it is calibrated for operation in a 40°C ambient environment. The bolt-on design secures directly to the panel bus, helping maintain solid electrical contact and proper alignment inside compatible distribution equipment. Its molded case construction is built to last under normal operating conditions.
