BF250H - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

BF250H - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

The BF250H circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 50-amp bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on the BLHF frame, this breaker is rated for 22kA interrupting capacity at 120/240VAC, making it suitable for protecting branch circuits in commercial and industrial panelboards where proper fault interruption is critical. With a 40°C ambient temperature rating and HACR certification, the BF250H is commonly used in HVAC applications and other systems requiring consistent, code-compliant protection. Designed for proper form, fit, and function, this breaker integrates into compatible legacy panels and distribution equipment where a BLHF frame bolt-on breaker is specified.

Electrical systems demand parts that fit correctly and perform as intended. The BF250H provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits, helping safeguard conductors and connected equipment. Its bolt-on mounting style ensures a secure mechanical and electrical connection to the panelboard bus, reducing the risk of loose connections in high-demand environments. Built to last and engineered for consistent operation within its rated specifications, this breaker serves as a practical replacement solution for maintaining existing electrical infrastructure.
