Square D QO250CP 50A Double Pole Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The Square D QO250CP is a 50-amp double pole circuit breaker rated for 240 volts, designed for residential and light commercial load center applications. It provides overcurrent protection for 240-volt branch circuits including electric water heaters, HVAC units, electric ranges, and sub-panels. The breaker fits QO-series load centers and features the QO line's signature Visi-Trip indicator, which clearly shows a tripped condition with a distinct mid-position on the handle. Licensed electricians install this breaker as a standard panel component or as a direct replacement for a failed or undersized overcurrent device.

The QO250CP is suited for 240-volt double pole branch circuit applications in residential panels and light commercial load centers. It is sold in a bulk package of 5 units per package, making it practical for multi-unit service work or stocking purposes. Typical applications include branch circuit protection for electric dryers, condensing unit disconnects, water heaters, and similar 240-volt loads where a two-pole 50-amp breaker is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always shut off the main breaker and verify the panel is de-energized before inserting or removing any breaker. Confirm the load center bus bar is rated for the QO breaker series before installation. Never install a breaker with a higher amperage rating than the wire gauge of the connected circuit supports.
