Part of the legacy F-Frame series, this 50A molded case circuit breaker provides thermal-magnetic protection for commercial and industrial electrical systems. It installs into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, utilizing a factory-configured phase B jaw connection. Featuring a 25kAIC rating at 120VAC and the signature Visi-Trip indicator, it ensures rapid fault identification. This unit is officially replaced by the PowerPacT BDA140502 for modern upgrades.
Is the Square D FA14050B circuit breaker obsolete, and what is the direct replacement?
Yes, the legacy FA frame has been discontinued. The direct drop-in replacement is the PowerPact B-Frame BDA160503, which maintains the 50A rating, 1-pole configuration, and Phase B I-Line connection.
What does the B suffix in the FA14050B catalog number indicate?
For Square D 1-pole I-Line circuit breakers, the suffix specifies the bus phase connection. The B indicates this breaker mounts specifically to Phase B of the panelboard bus.
Can I install the FA14050B in a standard QO or NQ load center?
No, this F-Frame breaker features an I-Line style plug-in connection. It is strictly compatible with Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards, not standard residential or NQ commercial load centers.
Is the FA14050B suitable for DC voltage applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is certified for DC systems. It provides an interrupting capacity of 10kA at 125VDC.
What wire sizes are supported by the terminals on the FA14050B?
The factory lugs accept conductor sizes ranging from 14 AWG to 1/0 AWG. The terminals are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum wiring.
Does the FA14050B offer adjustable trip settings for coordination?
No, this legacy MCCB utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous (LI) functions. It does not support field-adjustable trip settings.

Great company
Ordered on a Saturday evening, paid for two day shipping and it arrived on time and in perfect condition. Would 100 percent be using this company going forward, beat out pricing and shipping times for all my local supply houses. Plus the staff were great to deal with.

Professional Service
So far, so good! The circuit breaker was installed along with a new compressor for our church AC, and everything is now working well.
The company has been professional, dependable, and reputable throughout the process. I had a question after the installation, and it was answered immediately. I also appreciated that they followed up and asked for feedback to make sure the new part was working properly and that we were satisfied with the service.
It’s refreshing to deal with a company that not only has quality products but also cares about its customers after the job is completed. I would definitely recommend them!

As good as new
The Square D FA32100 circuit breaker (refurbished) was as good as a new breaker, without exception. There was no wear and tear or any marks at all. It was basically new. It is an excellent choice and a great product without having to pay the cost of a new breaker.
