Designed for reliable power management, the Siemens EE3B050 is a 3-pole, 50A molded case circuit breaker. This legacy component is ideal for maintaining existing commercial and industrial electrical systems. It features a bolt-on mounting style compatible with Siemens P1, P2, P3, and classic ITE panelboards. Facilities looking to modernize can use the ED23B050 as a replacement. The breaker provides a 10kAIC interrupt rating at 240VAC with fixed thermal and magnetic trip functionality.

Product FAQs
8 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the EE3B050 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards. It is also fully compatible with legacy ITE panelboards that accept E-frame breakers.
Is the Siemens EE3B050 the same as the ITE EE3B050?
Yes, Siemens acquired ITE and continued manufacturing this E-frame breaker under the same catalog number. The Siemens EE3B050 is a direct, exact replacement for the legacy ITE EE3B050.
What is the modern replacement for the EE3B050 if I am upgrading my panel?
While the EE3B050 is still available for maintaining existing systems, facilities looking to modernize or replace E-frame breakers often use the ED23B050 as a functional equivalent in Siemens panelboards.
Can the EE3B050 be used in DC electrical systems?
Yes, in addition to its 240VAC rating, this breaker is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this breaker?
The standard factory lugs on the EE3B050 accept wire gauges from 10 AWG up to 1/0 AWG. The terminals are rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors.
Will this breaker fit in a standard Siemens residential load center?
No, the EE3B050 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker intended for commercial panelboards. It will not fit in residential plug-on load centers that require QP or QPH style breakers.
Does this breaker feature adjustable trip settings?
No, the EE3B050 features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip functions. It does not have adjustable trip dials.
Does this breaker provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, the EE3B050 is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker providing overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include ground fault or arc fault protection circuitry.
