Engineered for commercial power distribution, this 50A molded case circuit breaker offers fixed thermal and magnetic trip functions. It fastens securely into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards as well as compatible switchboards. The ED4 frame device provides a 65kAIC interrupting rating at 240VAC and includes load-side lugs. Note that this unit is officially replaced by the 3VA5150-4ED31-0AA0 when upgrading modern systems.
Can the Siemens ED43B050 replace an older I-T-E or Gould breaker?
Yes. Siemens acquired the I-T-E and Gould circuit breaker lines. The Siemens ED43B050 serves as a direct drop-in replacement for older I-T-E and Gould breakers that share the identical ED43B050 catalog number.
Are wiring lugs included with this circuit breaker?
Yes, this model includes factory-installed load-side lugs that accept 10 to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire. Line-side connections are made by bolting the breaker directly to the panelboard bus.
Is the ED43B050 approved for reverse feed applications?
Yes. Because this ED frame breaker utilizes a fixed, non-interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit, it is UL listed for reverse feed applications.
What types of panelboards are compatible with the ED43B050?
This breaker is designed specifically for Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards and switchboards. It requires bolt-on mounting provisions and will not fit in standard residential plug-on load centers.
Is this circuit breaker HACR rated for HVAC equipment?
Yes, the ED43B050 is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for safe use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration motor loads.
Can the ED43B050 be used in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, the breaker carries a 30kA interrupting rating at 250VDC. When applying thermal magnetic molded case breakers on DC systems, specific pole wiring configurations must be followed based on whether the system is grounded or ungrounded.
