QCHGFT2050 - 50 Amp, GFCI (5mA) Circuit Breaker

QCHGFT2050 - 50 Amp, GFCI (5mA) Circuit Breaker

Some breakers just sit there until something goes wrong. This one is built to catch problems early—before they turn into expensive or dangerous situations. The QCHGFT2050 is a 50 amp, 2-pole GFCI breaker with a 5mA trip level, which means it’s sensitive enough to pick up ground faults that could put people at risk. That’s exactly what you want in circuits where safety isn’t optional. It also has a feed-thru setup, which makes a difference in the field. You’re not cutting off everything downstream—you’re keeping your system moving while still protecting it. For electricians and contractors, that can save time and simplify how a panel is laid out. On the performance side, it uses a thermal magnetic trip. So whether it’s a slow overload or a hard short, it reacts the way it should. And with a 22kA interrupting rating, it’s built to handle serious fault conditions without hesitation. No fluff here—it’s a straightforward, dependable breaker that does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
