Eaton Corporation CL250CS 50A Double Pole Ul Classified Breaker

Product Description

The EATON CORPORATION CL250CS is a 50-amp, 240-volt double pole UL Classified replacement circuit breaker designed for residential and light commercial electrical panels. It provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection for 240-volt branch circuits. The UL Classified designation means this breaker has been independently tested and listed for use as a direct replacement in specific panel brands without requiring a same-brand breaker. A licensed electrician installs this breaker as a drop-in replacement during panel upgrades, service calls, or when an original breaker has failed. At 1.96 pounds, it ships as a unit of one.

The CL250CS is suited for residential panel replacements where the original breaker has tripped permanently or tested out of tolerance. Its UL Classified listing covers a range of popular panel brands, making it a practical stocking item for electrical contractors who service mixed-brand residential panels. It handles 240-volt double pole loads such as dryers, water heaters, HVAC disconnects, and subpanel feeds.
