Product FAQs
6 answersWhat electrical panels are compatible with the Eaton QBH250 circuit breaker?
The QBH250 is a bolt-on breaker specifically designed to fit classic CEB, Sylvania, and Commander Electric (B/BC series) bolt-on load centers. It will not fit standard plug-in load centers or modern 1-inch format panels.
How much panel space does the QBH250 require?
This 2-pole breaker features a 3/4-inch per pole form factor, requiring a total of 1.5 inches of space in a compatible bolt-on load center.
Is the Eaton QBH250 breaker HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits that require this designation.
Are QHB250 and QBH250 the same circuit breaker?
Yes, QHB250 and QHB-250 are common alternate catalog numbers used for the Eaton QBH250. They represent the exact same 50A, 2-pole bolt-on breaker.
Does the QBH250 require a mounting kit for installation?
No additional mounting kit is required. The QBH250 features a direct bolt-on connection designed to secure directly to the busbar of compatible Commander, CEB, or Sylvania panels.
Does the QBH250 feature an independent or common trip mechanism?
The QBH250 features an internal common trip mechanism, ensuring that an overcurrent or short circuit on either pole will simultaneously trip both poles.
