HQP3050H - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

HQP3050H - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a breaker in existing equipment, a familiar catalog number is a good start—but the rest of the specifications still need to line up. The Eaton HQP3050H is a 50-amp, three-pole Quicklag thermal magnetic circuit breaker rated for 240V with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. It uses plug-on mounting and a non-interchangeable trip, giving you specific characteristics to check against the breaker being replaced and the equipment requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

• 50-amp rating — Provides the specified current rating needed when matching compatible electrical equipment.
• Three-pole configuration — Clearly identifies the pole arrangement for equipment requiring a three-pole breaker.
• 240V rating — Makes voltage comparison straightforward when checking the existing installation.
• Quicklag thermal magnetic design — Identifies the manufacturer's specified breaker type and operating mechanism.
• HQP circuit breaker type — An important detail when checking form and functional compatibility with existing equipment.
• Plug-on mounting — Defines how the breaker mounts, a key point to confirm before replacement.
• Non-interchangeable trip — Clearly identifies the supplied trip configuration.

The manufacturer's specifications for the Eaton HQP3050H identify it as HACCP-rated, Listed, and CSA Certified. These are useful compliance details when the equipment or installation calls for those specific designations.

Where It Works Best

The Eaton HQP3050H 50A 3-pole circuit breaker is appropriate for compatible existing and legacy electrical equipment requiring its particular combination of 50A amperage, three poles, 240V rating, 10 kAIC interrupt rating, HQP Quicklag configuration, plug-on mounting, and non-interchangeable trip. Its 3.1 "W x 4.8 "H x 3.8 "L/D dimensions provide another important checkpoint when determining whether it physically matches the equipment.
