Product FAQs
8 answersCan the Eaton GHC2050 be mounted on a standard DIN rail?
Yes, the GHC2050 can be mounted on a standard 35mm DIN rail, but it requires a separate DIN rail adapter kit. For 1-pole and 2-pole G-frame breakers, use Eaton adapter part number 1225C79G01.
Is the GHC2050 circuit breaker suitable for direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC applications. It provides an interrupting capacity of 14kAIC at 125/250VDC, making it suitable for various industrial DC control and distribution circuits.
What wire sizes and types are compatible with the standard lugs on the GHC2050?
The factory-installed line and load lugs accept wire sizes ranging from 10 AWG to 1/0 AWG. Ensure you use properly rated copper or aluminum conductors as required by your panelboard and local electrical codes.
Is the Eaton GHC2050 a direct replacement for older Cutler-Hammer GHC breakers?
Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer and continues to manufacture the Series C G-frame line. An Eaton GHC2050 provides the exact same form, fit, and function as a legacy Cutler-Hammer GHC2050.
What type of trip unit is installed in the GHC2050?
The breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. This provides both long-time response for overload protection and instantaneous response for short-circuit protection. The trip settings are factory calibrated and non-adjustable.
What types of enclosures and panels accept the GHC2050 breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, motor control centers, and custom OEM enclosures. It features a bolt-on connection for panel bus mounting and includes lugs for feed-thru cable connections.
Can the GHC2050 be reverse fed?
Yes, this Series C G-frame breaker is reverse feed capable. This allows line power to be connected to either the top or bottom terminals without compromising the protective functions of the trip unit.
Is the GHC2050 rated for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated. It is tested and approved to handle the specific inrush currents and operational demands of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration motor loads.
