Part of the Quicklag family, this 50-amp miniature circuit breaker provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The cable-in/cable-out configuration allows for versatile wiring without requiring a traditional busbar connection. It installs into standard control panels, enclosures, or DIN rails when paired with the appropriate adapter, and serves as an exact replacement for the legacy QCL1050 model. Rated for 10kAIC at 120/240VAC.
The QC1050 features a feed-thru, cable-in/cable-out design. Instead of connecting to a traditional busbar, it mounts directly to a panel backplate or enclosure using a mounting base plate, such as the QC1BP, and is wired directly on both the line and load sides.
Can the QC1050 be mounted on a DIN rail?
Yes, this breaker can be installed on a standard 35mm DIN rail by attaching the Eaton QCDINADAPT adapter. One adapter kit is required per breaker pole.
Is the Eaton QC1050 backwards compatible with older Westinghouse breakers?
Yes, Eaton manufactures the QC1050 as a direct, exact replacement for legacy Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer QC1050 and QCL1050 circuit breakers.
What are the DC voltage capabilities of the QC1050?
While primarily used for 120/240VAC circuits, the QC1050 is also rated for DC systems up to 62.5VDC, providing a 3.8kA interrupting capacity for direct current applications.
Does the QC1050 require specific wire materials for its terminals?
The factory-installed box lugs are dual-rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors, accepting wire sizes between 14 AWG and 4 AWG.

My experience was great. I had the item quickly; and it was more reasonably priced than other places I checked. Not having to pay freight was an absolute bonus.
