Designed for versatile standalone applications, the Eaton FD2050L is a 50A, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker from the Series C family. It provides reliable long-time and instantaneous protection for industrial environments. Unlike bolt-on variants, this unit mount breaker includes both line and load lugs, allowing for flexible installation in switchboards and custom control panels. It features a 35kAIC interrupt rating at 480VAC and is fully HACR rated for HVAC equipment protection.
What does the L suffix in the FD2050L catalog number indicate?
The L signifies that the breaker comes factory-equipped with standard line and load lugs. These terminals are designed to accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
Which panelboards and enclosures accept this breaker?
This F-frame breaker is designed for installation in Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Series C panelboards, motor control centers, and switchboards.
Can the FD2050L be used in direct current applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC systems up to 250VDC, where it provides a maximum interrupting capacity of 10kAIC.
Are the trip settings on the FD2050L adjustable?
No, this thermal magnetic breaker features fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous trip elements. It does not offer adjustable trip dials.
Is the FD2050L a direct replacement for the FD2050?
Yes, it serves as a direct replacement. The base catalog number is FD2050, and the L simply confirms the inclusion of the standard line and load terminals.
How does a unit mount breaker like this install into a system?
As a unit mount or feed-thru breaker, it bolts directly to the chassis or mounting pan using hardware, rather than plugging into a busbar. This makes it ideal for standalone enclosures and switchboards.

175amp molded case circuit breaker
The breaker we purchased was as advertised. The breaker fit perfectly. We purchased reconditioned breaker and it seems to be working properly, accordingly to the golf course maintenance team that supervises the irrigation system.
Next day shipping came quickly even though the 4th of July was coming.
I wish it came with new installations hardware but that isn’t a deal breaker.
