RC3850 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

RC3850 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're replacing an RC38-50 circuit breaker, getting the right fit is just as important as matching the amperage rating. This RC3850 replacement circuit breaker is made to fit the same location as the original Type RC38 breaker, making it an easy solution for compatible electrical panels that are still in service. This breaker features a 50-amp, 2-pole design with a 10 kA interrupting rating at 120/240 VAC and uses a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism to help protect circuits from overloads and short circuits. The space-saving plug-on construction allows it to be installed in the existing breaker position without changing the panel layout. Many older electrical systems continue to provide years of dependable service, and replacing a worn breaker is often all that's needed to keep them operating safely. That's exactly where this replacement fits in. It's built to match the original form, fit, and function, so you can replace the existing breaker with confidence while keeping your compatible panel in service. Built to last, it's a practical choice for maintenance, repairs, or the restoration of an existing installation.
