QO250VH - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

QO250VH - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

The QO250VH is a 2-pole, 50-amp plug-on circuit breaker for use in your compatible Type QO-VH panels. It is rated for 120/240 VAC and has a 22 kA interrupting capacity to help protect branch circuits from overloads and short circuits. This breaker is often used on larger dedicated circuits where a 50-amp, 2-pole breaker is required. Common applications include HVAC equipment, electric water heaters, subpanels, and other 240-volt loads. If you're replacing an existing breaker, matching the part number, breaker type, and electrical ratings is the best way to help you ensure compatibility. The plug-on connection keeps installation simple in compatible load centers. As with any replacement breaker, verify the panel accepts Type QO-VH breakers and confirm the electrical requirements before installation.
