50 A amperage rating and 120 V operating voltage ensure precise overcurrent protection for typical branch circuits. This reduces overheating and potential equipment damage, translating to lower maintenance and downtime in manufacturing lines and office spaces. Use in Type CH load centers to safeguard critical loads efficiently. 10 kAIC interrupt rating provides a robust fault current path. This enhances safety margin during short-circuit events and limits arc energy transferred to conductors, reducing the risk of damage to panel rails and connected devices. Suitable for both new installations and retrofits in industrial facilities requiring high interrupt capabilities. Plug-on type CHF mounting and common trip features simplify installation and ensure coordination with other CH breakers. Quick plug-in replaces or adds to existing panels without rewiring, saving labor costs and downtime during upgrades. Wire size compatibility #14-2 AWG Cu/Al ensures clean termination with standard branch conductors, supporting reliable torque and stable connections in CH Loadcenters. Warranty and compliance: UL listing and HACR rating provide regulatory compliance for residential and commercial service, while a limited lifetime warranty offers long-term protection against defects and lower total cost of ownership across fielded panel systems.
