Special features
24,48V/dc shunt trip
Feature: Three-pole bolt-on mounting combined with a 50 A amperage rating and 10 kAIC interrupt capability. Business impact: Delivers robust fault protection while enabling fast, secure installation in standard enclosures, reducing commissioning time and equipment downtime. Application: Ideal for industrial control panels and machines requiring reliable, high-impedance protection without complex mounting adapters. Feature: 24/48 VDC shunt trip option. Business impact: Enables remote trip signaling and safer startup/shutdown sequences, supporting compliance with safety protocols and rapid incident response. Application: Crucial in automated lines and safety-critical equipment where remote disconnection is mandated. Feature: Certifications and compliance package (UL Listed, CSA Certified, HACR rated). Business impact: Simplifies regulatory approvals, improves audit readiness, and lowers risk of non-compliance penalties. Application: Suitable for NEC-based installations across commercial and industrial facilities with stringent safety standards. Feature: Non-interchangeable design. Business impact: Ensures correct replacement and prevents mismatched components during maintenance, reducing service errors and inventory waste. Application: Maintenance programs in factories and utility rooms benefit from predictable replacement cycles. Feature: Compact dimensions (5 in x 3 in x 1 in) and bolt-on mounting. Business impact: Fits tight electrical enclosures and densely packed panels, enabling higher circuit density with fewer cabinet modifications. Application: Control cabinets and panel boards with limited space. Additional context: The BAB3050HS1 couples with Eaton accessories and standard mounting hardware, supporting straightforward installation workflows and predictable lifecycle costs in industrial environments.

FAQs
Verify a compatible three-pole bolt-on mounting footprint, confirm panel space for a 5 in x 3 in x 1 in device, and ensure the enclosure rating supports 240 V circuits. Use standard mounting hardware and torque per manufacturer guidelines to ensure secure installation and reliable trip performance.
The BAB3050HS1 provides 50 A nominal current, 240 V rated voltage, and a 10 kAIC interrupt capability. It also features a 24/48 VDC shunt trip option for remote disconnection, making it suitable for controlled shutdowns in automated systems.
While the unit is specified for 240 V circuits and includes a 24/48 VDC shunt trip, always verify the DC load characteristics and trip compliance for your exact application. The DC shunt trip supports remote signaling but consult the datasheet for any DC-specific limitations.
UL Listed and CSA Certified provide recognized safety validation for North American installations, while HACR rating ensures compatibility with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration circuits. These certifications streamline audits and reduce risk in regulated facilities.
With a robust 10 kAIC interrupt rating, reliable remote trip capability, and a 1-year warranty, this breaker reduces downtime from faults, lowers inspection costs through strong compliance credentials, and simplifies spare parts inventories due to a non-interchangeable, single-part replacement approach.
