Q150 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

Q150 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're looking for a Q150 50 Amp circuit breaker, getting the specifications right matters. The Q150 is a single-pole, Type QP plug-in breaker rated at 50 amps and 120 VAC, with a 10 kAIC rating. At just 1 inch wide, it has a compact footprint for compatible panels and electrical equipment. It's also HACR rated, so it can be used in qualifying heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications that call for this type of breaker. The Q150 carries a 40°C rating and measures 2.88 inches high, 1 inch wide, and 2.56 inches deep. It's a straightforward option for replacement, maintenance, and other electrical jobs that require these exact ratings. Before replacing a breaker, check more than the amperage. The breaker type, pole count, voltage, AIC rating, and compatibility with the equipment should all meet the application's requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

• 50-amp, 1-pole breaker for compatible 120VAC applications

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The supplied specifications identify the Q150 as HACR rated and list a 40°C rating. This HACR rating is relevant when the breaker is being considered for applicable heating, air-conditioning, or refrigeration equipment.
• No other material-compliance standards, certifications, or environmental declarations were provided for this part. Rather than assume certifications that may not apply, check the product markings and applicable equipment documentation when a particular certification or compliance requirement is important to the job.

Where It Works Best

• The Q150 is intended for applications that require a 50 amp, 1-pole, Type QP plug-in circuit breaker with a 10k AIC rating at 120VAC. That can include compatible residential or light-commercial electrical equipment, as well as qualifying HVAC applications where its HACR rating is needed.
• For replacement work, it's worth checking the complete specification rather than choosing a breaker simply because it looks right or has the same amperage. Verify the Type QP designation, 50A rating, single-pole configuration, 120VAC rating, 10k AIC rating, and physical compatibility with the panel or equipment. When those requirements match, the Q150 provides a simple, compact solution for the application.
