BQ2C050 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker Description
BQ2C050 - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker
The BQ2C050 is a 50-amp, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for use in compatible BQ panelboards and load centers. Rated for 120/240VAC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, this breaker provides reliable overcurrent protection for branch circuits in commercial and light industrial electrical systems. Its bolt-on design creates a secure connection to the bus bar, helping maintain consistent electrical contact in properly matched equipment.
This model is HACR rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications. With a 40°C temperature rating, it is built for steady operation under typical load conditions. When replacing an existing BQ frame breaker, the BQ2C050 is designed to match the original form, fit, and function required by the panel manufacturer.
