Eaton NZMB1-A50-NA Molded Case Circuit Breaker - 25 kAIC
Part Number: NZMB1-A50-NA
Quick Summary
NZMB1-A50-NA molded case circuit breaker provides reliable overcurrent protection for distribution panels in industrial facilities. Selecting the right current rating and trip characteristics can be time-consuming, especially when balancing nuisance trips against protection levels in compact installations. While certifications are not explicitly listed here, this model features a thermal-magnetic trip (T268) and a 25 kAIC short-circuit rating to support robust protection, with references to IEC/UL practices often managed through the manufacturer. The 50 A rating, 480 Vac operation, and NZM1 frame position it as a strong fit for controlled distribution circuits, enabling consistent protection without overcomplicating panel design. Leveraging these attributes helps streamline procurement, installation, and maintenance for industrial power distribution strategies.

Eaton Specification Sheet - NZMB1-A50-NA
Feature: NZMB1-A50-NA belongs to the NZM1 frame and is a three-pole distribution circuit protection device. Benefit: Delivers coordinated protection across essential feeders with a compact footprint, reducing panel depth needs and enabling easier space planning in switchgear. Application: Ideal for distribution panels in manufacturing lines and utility rooms where dense, reliable protection is required. Feature: Thermal-magnetic trip type (T268) provides precise overload and short-circuit protection. Benefit: Limits nuisance trips while ensuring fast response to fault conditions, improving uptime and safeguarding equipment. Application: Critical for motors and feeders in heavy industry where load profiles fluctuate. Feature: Setting range 40-50 A and an amperage rating of 50 A. Benefit: Adjustable protection for varying loads, allowing fine-tuning to minimize downtime and false trips. Application: Suitable for feeders feeding motors, transformers, and lighting banks within 40–50 A envelopes. Feature: Front frame clamp and rocker lever access. Benefit: Simplifies installation and testing with secure mounting and intuitive operation, reducing commissioning time. Application: Field serviceability in panel retrofits and new installations. Feature: 25 kAIC short-circuit breaking capacity and 25 kAIC interrupt rating. Benefit: Supports high fault current environments, delivering robust protection for large industrial feeders. Application: Critical in facilities with demanding fault current levels, such as metal processing or batch manufacturing. Feature: 50 A, 480 Vac operation with three poles. Benefit: Reliable, high-performance protection for standard 480 V distribution networks, enabling consistent coordination with upstream devices. Application: Common in commercial and industrial power distribution schemes seeking reliable circuit protection.

FAQs
Install the NZMB1-A50-NA using the front frame clamp for secure mounting. Ensure three-pole configuration, connect feeder conductors to the front-facing terminals, and verify 480 Vac operation. Set the overload at 40–50 A to match the protected load then test the rocker lever for proper operation and trip indication.
Key specs include amperage rating 50 A, voltage rating 480 Vac, trip type T268, frame NZM1, and short-circuit breaking/interrupt rating of 25 kAIC. It is a three-pole device designed for distribution circuit protection with a 40–50 A setting range.
The model features a rugged three-pole design with a front frame clamp, but the document does not specify IP or environmental ratings. For harsh environments, verify enclosure protection and consult Eaton for compatibility with your climate, dust, and vibration requirements before deployment.
Certification details such as CE, SIL, or IP ratings are not listed in the provided specification. For project-specific compliance, contact Eaton to confirm required certifications and ensure alignment with regional regulatory requirements.
Warranty is Eaton Selling Policy 25-000, offering one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Regular inspection of the rocker lever and trip indicator, plus periodic thermal checks of connected loads, will help sustain reliable protection and extend lifecycle.
