Quick Summary

The Eaton NZMB2-A50-BT-NA NZM Circuit Breaker provides reliable overcurrent protection for distribution panels and motor control centers. When selecting protection, engineers often struggle to balance a compact footprint with robust trip performance and easy field wiring. This model offers a three-pole, 50 A protection device with a 25 kAIC interrupt capacity, designed for 440 Vac systems and front-frame installation. Compliant considerations require verification of regional standards, which Eaton facilitates through official documentation and support. In practice, this translates to improved uptime, lower total cost of ownership, and predictable protection aligned with distribution circuit protection strategies. For architects and maintenance teams, it supports streamlined procurement while preserving system reliability and safety.

FAQs

For installation, position the NZMB2-A50-BT-NA on a compatible NZM2 frame panel using the front frame clamp terminals. Verify conductor sizing and torque per manufacturer guidelines, then secure the breaker to the rail, wire the line and load connections, and test the trip function with a suitable test device. This method reduces commissioning time and ensures secure, repeatable mounting.
Key specs include a 50 A Amperage Rating, 440 Vac voltage rating, 25 kAIC short-circuit breaking capacity, 3-pole configuration, and a T185 trip type with an adjustable short-circuit release range of 300-500 A. The device uses a front-frame clamp connection and is part of the NZM2 frame family for distribution circuit protection.
Yes, the 50 A rating with a 25 kAIC interrupt capacity supports motor protection in load centers and MCCs. Its adjustable short-circuit release helps coordinate with upstream protective devices, while the front-frame mounting and compact NZM2 frame facilitate integration into motor control panels and start-up circuitry with predictable response during faults.
The product listing notes Compliances: Contact Manufacturer, so confirm CE, UL, or regional certifications with Eaton directly before procurement. This is important for safety, documentation, and regulatory alignment in your facility. When in doubt, request the official datasheet and certification declarations to ensure your installation meets local electrical standards.
Eaton provides a warranty under Selling Policy 25-000: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. For ongoing support, rely on Eaton’s technical resources and datasheets, and consider extended service or field support contracts to maximize uptime and address maintenance planning for distribution protection devices.
