BE250H - 50Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

BE250H   - 50Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

The BE250H circuit breaker is a dependable 2-pole, 50-amp thermal magnetic breaker designed to deliver precise overcurrent protection along with integrated 30mA Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP). Built on the BLEH frame, this bolt-on breaker provides a secure panelboard connection and reliable performance in demanding electrical distribution systems. With an interrupting rating of 22kA at 115VAC, the BE250H is engineered to safely clear fault conditions while helping protect downstream equipment from damage caused by overloads, short circuits, and ground faults. Its compact footprint and efficient design make it a practical solution for commercial and industrial environments where safety, code compliance, and equipment protection are top priorities. Unlike standard breakers, this model combines thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection with ground fault equipment protection at 30mA, helping reduce the risk of costly equipment damage and downtime. For facilities that cannot afford unexpected interruptions, the BE250H offers a smart balance of performance, protection, and installation flexibility.
