Supplying reliable overcurrent protection for industrial environments, this 50A molded case circuit breaker utilizes thermal-magnetic trip technology. The F-frame unit provides essential long-time and instantaneous (LI) functions to prevent equipment damage. Designed for Square D I-Line panelboards, it features a plug-on mounting style with an AB phase configuration. Capable of handling severe faults, it boasts a 65 kAIC rating at 240VAC and incorporates a visual trip indicator.

Product FAQs
7 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the FH26050 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in legacy Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It utilizes an I-Line style plug-in connection for secure mounting directly onto the bus assembly.
Is the Square D FH26050 still in active production?
The FH26050 is part of the legacy F-Frame series, which has been phased out by Square D. For modern upgrades or direct replacements, the PowerPact H-Frame or B-Frame series are typically used in I-Line panels.
How do the phase connections work for this 2-pole I-Line breaker?
Because it mounts directly to the I-Line bus, 2-pole breakers require a specific phase configuration. The base catalog number often defaults to an AB phase connection, but AC or BC configurations, such as FH26050AC or FH26050BC, may be required depending on your panel layout.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the FH26050?
The standard mechanical lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper wire or 12 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation to maintain a secure connection.
Can the FH26050 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for use in DC circuits up to 250VDC, where it provides a 10kA interrupting capacity.
What is the difference between the FA and FH series breakers?
While both share the same physical F-Frame footprint, the FH series features a higher interrupting capacity. The FH26050 provides up to 25kA at 480VAC, whereas the standard FA series offers lower fault current ratings.
Does this breaker include a visual trip indicator?
Yes, Square D F-Frame breakers feature a Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips, the handle snaps to a center position and a highly visible red indicator appears, making it easy to identify a tripped circuit in a crowded panel.
