Product FAQs
7 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the Square D EGB24050SA circuit breaker?
The EGB24050SA is an E-Frame bolt-on circuit breaker designed exclusively for use in Square D NF series panelboards.
What does the SA suffix indicate on the EGB24050SA catalog number?
The SA suffix denotes a factory-installed 120V AC shunt trip. This feature allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via external control signals for emergency disconnects, fire alarm integration, or automation systems.
How many panel spaces does the EGB24050SA require?
Although it is a 2-pole breaker, the factory-installed shunt trip requires an additional pole space. The EGB24050SA will take up 3 spaces in a Square D NF panelboard.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the EGB24050SA?
The load-side lugs accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG copper conductors, or 12 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum conductors.
Are the trip settings on the EGB24050SA adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Can the shunt trip be removed or added to the EGB24050SA in the field?
No, the 120V AC shunt trip is factory-installed and is not field-modifiable. If your application does not require remote tripping capabilities, you must source the standard EGB24050 breaker instead.
What applications typically require the shunt trip feature found on the EGB24050SA?
Shunt trips are commonly used in commercial and industrial safety systems. They allow the breaker to be opened automatically by external sensors or switches, such as fire alarm panels, emergency stop buttons, or emergency power off (EPO) systems.
