PDG21G0050TFFJ - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

PDG21G0050TFFJ - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton PDG21G0050TFFJ is a 50-amp, single-pole molded case circuit breaker from the Power Defense line. It's a good option when your application specifically calls for a Frame 2 breaker with a fixed trip and a 35kA rating at 277 VAC. Line and load lugs are included, keeping the connection setup straightforward with compatible equipment. Fit matters as much as electrical ratings, especially when you're replacing an existing breaker. The PDG21G0050TFFJ measures 1.38 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 3.5 inches deep. Before making a replacement, it's a good idea to compare those dimensions, along with the frame, pole count, amperage, voltage, interrupting rating, and lug configuration, with the breaker already in your equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

• Made for compatible circuits requiring 50-amp protection.
• Single-pole configuration for applications designed around this setup.
• Provides a 35kA interrupting rating at 277 VAC.
• A simple, predetermined trip configuration with no adjustable trip settings to deal with.
• Part of the Eaton Power Defense molded case circuit breaker family.
• Line and load lugs are both included for connections in compatible equipment.
• At 1.38" H x 6" W x 3.5" D, the breaker doesn't require a lot of space.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The PDG21G0050TFFJ is described as an Eaton Global Rated Power Defense molded-case circuit breaker. Specific agency certifications, listings, and material compliance requirements may depend on the application. When a particular certification or standard is required for the job, check the breaker markings and the manufacturer's current documentation before installation.

Where It Works Best

• The Eaton PDG21G0050TFFJ is suited for compatible commercial and industrial electrical equipment requiring a 50A, 1-pole molded-case breaker with a 35kA interrupting rating at 277 VAC. It can also make sense for replacement work when these specifications match the breaker and equipment already in service.
• One thing worth checking carefully: 50 amps alone doesn't determine compatibility. Match the pole count, voltage, A.I.C. rating, Frame 2 configuration, fixed trip, lug arrangement, dimensions, and equipment requirements. Taking a minute to verify those details can prevent choosing a breaker with the right amperage but not the right fit for the application.
