CH2050 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

CH2050 - 50Amp Circuit Breaker

The CH2050 is a 50 Amp, 2-pole Type CH circuit breaker designed for use in compatible panelboards and electrical distribution equipment. It features a bolt-on mounting design, a thermal magnetic trip mechanism, and a non-interchangeable trip unit, making it suitable for applications where those specifications are already part of the system.

When replacing a breaker, matching the original ratings and configuration is important. The CH2050 combines a 50 Amp rating with a 2-pole design, helping maintain the intended electrical characteristics of compatible Type CH installations. Its bolt-on construction is designed for equipment that requires a secure, fixed connection, while the thermal magnetic trip mechanism helps protect circuits from overloads and short circuits during normal operation.

Rated 65kA at 240VAC and 14kA at 480VAC, the CH2050 is intended for applications where those interrupting capacities are specified. Whether you're installing it during routine maintenance, equipment repairs, or a planned breaker replacement, the CH2050 provides the form, fit, and ratings needed for compatible installations. Built to last, it remains a practical choice for keeping existing electrical systems in service.
