Eaton siemens-q250 50A 2-pole 120/240V Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The EATON siemens-q250 is a plug-in thermal magnetic circuit breaker rated at 50 amps, 2 poles, and 120/240 volts. It provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection in residential and light commercial panelboards. The thermal magnetic trip mechanism responds to sustained overloads via a bimetallic strip and to short-circuit faults via an instantaneous magnetic element. UL listed for use in compatible loadcenters, this breaker is designed for reliable branch circuit protection in standard residential electrical systems. Licensed electricians install and service this type of device under NEC guidelines.

This breaker is suited for residential and commercial electrical distribution panels requiring a 2-pole, 50-amp plug-in style breaker. It is commonly used to protect 240-volt branch circuits such as dryer, range, water heater, HVAC equipment circuits, and other double-pole loads. The plug-in design allows for straightforward installation in compatible panelboards without additional hardware.

Key Features

• 50-amp continuous current rating for double-pole branch circuit protection
• 2-pole design handles 120/240-volt circuits in a single breaker slot pair
• Thermal magnetic trip mechanism provides both overload and short-circuit protection
• Plug-in mounting for compatible residential and commercial panelboards
• 10,000 AIC interrupting rating for standard residential fault levels
• UL listed for residential and commercial applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plug-in replacement circuit breaker for compatible residential and light commercial loadcenters accepting QP-style 2-pole breakers.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the main panel before handling any breaker or bus connection. Verify panel compatibility and breaker ampacity matches the conductor gauge and load requirements before installation. Do not install in a panelboard with a bus rating or interrupt rating lower than this breaker specifies.
