Manufactured for industrial and commercial power distribution, the Square D EH34050 provides 50 amps of reliable circuit protection. The thermal-magnetic mechanism ensures consistent response to overcurrent events. Designed specifically for Square D NEHB panelboards, this three-pole breaker features a convenient plug-on mounting style. It helps maintain older electrical systems without requiring complete panel upgrades. The unit boasts a 65 kAIC rating at 240V and includes the Visi-Trip flag.
Which panelboards are compatible with the EH34050 breaker?
The EH34050 is designed exclusively for legacy Square D NEHB panelboards. It uses a plug-in connection, making it a direct replacement part for maintaining older commercial distribution systems without requiring a full panel upgrade.
What is the difference between the EH34050 and the EHB34050?
Both are 50A, 3-pole breakers for NEHB panelboards, but they use different mounting methods. The EH34050 is a plug-in breaker, whereas the EHB34050 requires a bolt-on connection. Verify your panelboard's bus structure before selecting a replacement.
What wire sizes are supported by the EH34050 lugs?
The factory-installed load lugs accept 14 AWG to 2 AWG copper (Cu) conductors, or 12 AWG to 2 AWG aluminum (Al) conductors.
How does the interrupting rating change based on system voltage?
The EH34050 is rated for 65kAIC when installed in 240VAC systems. When applied to 480Y/277VAC systems, the maximum interrupting rating is 14kAIC.
What trip functions are included in the EH34050?
This breaker utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with long-time and instantaneous (LI) functions. The thermal component protects against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component provides immediate tripping during short-circuit faults.
Does the EH34050 feature a visual trip indicator?
Yes, it includes the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, the handle moves to a center position and a red flag appears, allowing facility managers and electricians to quickly identify the faulted circuit in the NEHB panelboard.
