QBHW3050H - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you need a solid breaker for a job that demands dependable performance, the Eaton QBHW3050H is a good one to keep on your list. It’s a 3-pole, 50-amp unit that handles up to 240 volts and cuts power fast when there’s too much current flowing — exactly what you want to keep your equipment safe. It’s got a thermal-magnetic trip that kicks in during overloads or short circuits, and the 22,000 amp interrupt rating means it can handle some serious fault current when it needs to. It’s made for bolt-on mounting, so once it’s in, it stays put. Straightforward, strong, and made to do the job right.
