EC2050 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

EC2050 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a replacement circuit breaker that matches the original specifications of your electrical system, the EC2050 provides the ratings and configuration required for compatible Type EC applications. This 50 Amp, 2-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is designed to help protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits while maintaining the form, fit, and function expected in existing installations.

Rated for 120/240VAC operation with a 10kA interrupting capacity, the EC2050 is commonly used in commercial, industrial, and institutional electrical systems that require dependable branch circuit protection. It is also 40°C rated and comes with load terminals included, helping simplify installation in compatible equipment. Whether you're replacing a failed breaker during maintenance or sourcing a matching unit for an existing panel, the EC2050 delivers the electrical ratings and physical dimensions needed to keep your system operating as intended.
