Q2430-50 - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q2430-50 - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you’re replacing a breaker in existing equipment, getting the details right matters. The Q2430-50 is a 3-pole, 50-amp plug-on circuit breaker with a 10k AIC rating at 240VAC. It is a Type Q24 breaker and measures approximately 4.81 inches high, 2.25 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep. This makes it a useful option for maintaining compatibility with legacy electrical equipment when the original breaker’s size, connection style, and electrical ratings must be matched. Rather than choosing a breaker based on amperage alone, compare the Q2430-50 with the breaker already installed and with the requirements of the electrical equipment. Check the part number, three-pole configuration, 50A rating, 240VAC rating, 10k interrupting capacity, plug-on design, and dimensions. When those specifications match the application, the Q2430-50 provides the form, fit, and circuit protection the system requires. It’s a straightforward replacement component built to last when properly applied, installed, and maintained.

Key Features and Benefits

• 50-amp rating for equipment designed to use a breaker with this amperage.
• Three-pole design for compatible 3-pole electrical applications.
• 10k AIC at 240VAC provides the specified interrupting rating for this breaker.
• Type Q24 configuration helps identify the correct breaker style for compatible equipment.
• Plug-on connection matches systems designed for this mounting and connection method.
• Defined physical dimensions make it easier to compare the breaker with an existing component before installation.
• Suited to replacement work where maintaining the original equipment configuration is the priority.
• Built to last when correctly matched to the application and properly maintained.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• Specific material compliance information and certification details were not included with the available Q2430-50 specifications. If your application requires a particular agency listing, certification, or material compliance standard, confirm those requirements using the markings on the individual breaker and the applicable equipment documentation. This avoids making assumptions based solely on the part number or electrical ratings.

Where It Works Best

• The Q2430-50 circuit breaker is best suited for compatible legacy electrical distribution equipment that calls for a Type Q24, 3-pole, 50-amp plug-on breaker rated at 10k AIC at 240VAC. It makes sense for repair and maintenance situations where keeping the existing equipment configuration intact is important.
