BQ3D050 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

BQ3D050 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

The BQ3D050 is a 50-amp, 3-pole circuit breaker designed for use in compatible BQ electrical distribution equipment. Featuring a bolt-on mounting design and common-trip operation, it disconnects all three poles simultaneously when an overload or short circuit occurs.

With a 10kA interrupting rating at 240VAC, the BQ3D050 is often found in commercial buildings, warehouses, apartment complexes, schools, and light industrial facilities. It is HACR rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications, as well as general power distribution. Whether you're replacing an existing breaker or maintaining an older panel, matching the correct frame type and electrical ratings is important, and the BQ3D050 is designed for applications where a BQ-frame breaker is specified.
