Q50 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

Q50 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

The Q50 50 amp single-pole circuit breaker protects 120VAC electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. Electricians commonly use it in residential and commercial panels that require dependable circuit protection. The Q-frame, plug-on design allows the breaker to snap into compatible panels quickly, which helps reduce installation time during service or replacement work. With a 10kA interrupting rating, the Q50 safely clears fault conditions while supporting normal operating loads.
