FA26050BC - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

FA26050BC - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FA26050BC is a 50-amp, 2-pole thermal-magnetic molded-case circuit breaker used in compatible I-Line electrical distribution systems. Most often, it's installed as a replacement for an existing FA-series breaker where maintaining the original form, fit, and electrical ratings is important. Matching the existing breaker helps keep your panel configuration unchanged and avoids unnecessary modifications during maintenance.

The I-Line plug-in design allows the breaker to be installed directly into compatible equipment built for this mounting style. Inside, the thermal magnetic trip mechanism responds to both overloads and short circuits, providing the type of circuit protection expected in many established electrical systems. It's also HACR Type rated for qualifying heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
