Wesco CL250 Double Pole Circuit Breaker 50A Type Cl

Product Description

The WESCO CL250 is a double pole, 50-amp Type CL classified circuit breaker designed for use in residential and light commercial electrical panels. Type CL classified breakers are manufactured to meet the performance and dimensional standards required for use in panels that accept classified breakers, making them a practical replacement option where OEM breakers are unavailable or discontinued. This breaker is installed by licensed electricians during panel upgrades, service replacements, or branch circuit additions. It fits into a 1-inch space per pole in compatible load centers.

The CL250 is suited for 240-volt double pole branch circuit applications including electric dryers, water heaters, HVAC disconnect circuits, and similar residential loads. Its Type CL classification means it has been tested and listed for use in panels that accept classified breakers according to applicable UL standards. This makes it a widely applicable option across a range of panel brands and configurations that specify Type CL fitment.
