Part of the legacy F-Frame series, this 50A thermal-magnetic breaker provides reliable overcurrent protection for industrial facilities. It installs into Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards utilizing an AB phase connection. As a discontinued model, it is commonly replaced by the modern H-Frame HGA260501. Delivering a 65kAIC rating at 240VAC, the unit includes Visi-Trip visual indication and fixed long-time/instantaneous trip functions for robust circuit management.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What does the "AB" suffix mean in the FH26050AB catalog number?
The "AB" suffix indicates the breaker phase connection. It is designed to connect specifically to the A and B phases on the bus of a Square D I-Line panelboard.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FH26050AB circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D I-Line power distribution panelboards and switchboards. It features an I-Line style plug-in connection and will not fit standard load centers or NQ and NF panels.
Is the Square D FH26050AB an obsolete breaker?
Yes, the FH frame is a legacy F-Frame series that is no longer in active production by Schneider Electric. However, it remains widely used in existing I-Line panels and is available as a direct replacement part.
What is the modern replacement for the FH26050AB?
The modern equivalent for this legacy F-Frame breaker is the PowerPacT B-Frame series. Specifically, the BJA260501 is a direct 50A, 2-pole replacement that fits the same I-Line panelboards and features an AB phase connection.
How does the I-Line connection work on the FH26050AB?
The I-Line system uses a plug-on design with jaw connectors that attach directly to the panelboard bus assembly. This allows for fast mounting to the bus, while the load side uses standard mechanical lugs for wire termination.
Can the FH26050AB be used in DC power systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for specific direct current applications.
