Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, the Square D EDB24050SA is a 2-pole, 50A molded case circuit breaker from the E-Frame family. It mounts into Square D NF panelboards and features a secure bolt-on connection for reliable power distribution. Rated for 18 kAIC at 480Y/277V, this thermal-magnetic breaker comes equipped with a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip, allowing for remote tripping capabilities in emergency or automated control systems.
What does the SA suffix mean in the EDB24050SA catalog number?
The SA suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed 120VAC (110-130 VAC) shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via an external control signal for emergency disconnects or automation systems.
Can I add a shunt trip to a standard EDB24050 breaker in the field?
No, shunt trips for Square D E-Frame breakers are not field-installable. You must order a breaker with a factory-installed shunt trip, such as the EDB24050SA.
How many panel spaces does the EDB24050SA require?
Although it is a 2-pole breaker, the EDB24050SA requires three pole spaces in your panelboard. The factory-installed shunt trip module occupies one additional space.
Which panelboards are compatible with the EDB24050SA circuit breaker?
This E-Frame breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D NF series lighting panelboards. It features a bolt-on mounting design to secure it directly to the panel bus.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed lugs accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG copper wire, or 12 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation as specified on the breaker label.
What type of trip unit does the EDB24050SA use?
It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit that provides both long-time (thermal) protection against overloads and instantaneous (magnetic) protection against short circuits.
Is the EDB24050SA rated for use in 480V delta systems?
No. Because it carries a slash voltage rating of 480Y/277VAC, it is only approved for use in solidly grounded wye systems where the voltage to ground does not exceed 277V. It cannot be used on 480V ungrounded or corner-grounded delta systems.
Does this breaker feature a visual trip indicator?
Yes, Square D E-Frame breakers feature a Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to a fault or the shunt trip being activated, the handle moves to a center position and a highly visible red indicator appears to help quickly locate the tripped breaker.
