Built for commercial and industrial applications, this 50-amp molded case circuit breaker delivers reliable thermal magnetic protection. As part of the Sentron ED frame series, it provides long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions to safeguard electrical systems. The bolt-on design installs into Siemens P2, P3, and Sentron panelboards, as well as compatible switchboards. Rated for 10kAIC at 240VAC, this HACR-rated breaker is reverse feed capable and includes load side lugs.
Can I install the ED23B050 in a standard residential load center?
No. The ED23B050 is a bolt-on breaker designed for commercial Siemens P2 and P3 panelboards, Sentron panelboards, and switchboards. It will not fit in standard plug-on residential load centers.
Can the Siemens ED23B050 replace older I-T-E circuit breakers?
Yes. Siemens acquired I-T-E, and the ED23B050 is a direct replacement for older I-T-E ED2 frame breakers with the exact same catalog number.
Is there a higher interrupting rating (AIC) version of the ED23B050 available?
Yes. If your application requires a higher short-circuit rating, the Siemens ED43B050 offers 65kAIC at 240VAC, and the ED63B050 offers 65kAIC at 240VAC (and 25kAIC at 480VAC) within the same physical ED frame size.
Is the ED23B050 rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, in addition to its 240VAC rating, this breaker is UL listed for use in DC applications up to 250VDC, providing a 5kAIC interrupting rating.
Is the ED23B050 suitable for reverse feeding?
Yes. Because it features a non-interchangeable trip unit, this ED frame breaker is suitable for reverse feed applications per UL 489 standards.
