BE250 - 50Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

BE250   - 50Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

The BE250 is a 50 amp, 2 pole bolt-on thermal magnetic circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable overcurrent protection along with integrated Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) at 30mA. Built on a BLE frame, this breaker combines precision tripping performance with equipment-level ground fault protection to help safeguard electrical systems from damage caused by overloads, short circuits, and ground faults. With a 10k A.I.C. rating at 115VAC, the BE250 is engineered for reliable interruption capacity in commercial and light industrial applications where system protection and operational continuity matter. Its bolt-on mounting style ensures a secure installation within compatible panelboards, making it a practical choice for facility upgrades, maintenance replacements, or new installations requiring consistent and accurate circuit protection.

Designed for professionals who demand both safety and performance, this breaker utilizes a thermal magnetic trip mechanism that responds to prolonged overloads and instantaneous short circuits with dependable accuracy. The added 30mA ground fault equipment protection enhances protection at the equipment level, helping reduce the risk of costly damage and downtime. Compact in size yet solid in construction, the BE250 offers a space-conscious solution without compromising electrical protection standards.
