QCP50 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

QCP50 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

The QCP50 is a 50 amp, 2-pole Type QP thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed for use in your compatible 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Featuring a Cable-In/Cable-Out configuration, this breaker provides dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection while maintaining proper form, fit, and function for compatible panel installations. Built to last, the QCP50 combines thermal and magnetic trip technology to respond to both sustained overloads and instantaneous fault conditions, helping you protect electrical equipment and branch circuits from damage. Its compact footprint also makes installation and replacement straightforward in applications where a Type QP breaker is specified.

Whether used for maintenance, repair, or replacement in existing electrical systems, the QCP50 is intended to meet the electrical ratings and compatibility requirements of approved installations. Its 10kA interrupting capacity at 120/240VAC makes it suitable for a wide range of residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where the available fault current falls within its listed rating.
