Part of Square D's E-Frame lineup, the EDB36050 delivers dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for commercial and industrial distribution systems. This unit features a bolt-on mounting style designed specifically for installation in Square D NF panelboards. It accepts 14-2/0 AWG copper or 12-2/0 AWG aluminum wire via load side lugs, ensuring a secure connection. Rated to handle 18 kAIC at 480Y/277V, the breaker utilizes fixed thermal-magnetic trip technology and a Visi-Trip flag.
What panelboards are compatible with the EDB36050 circuit breaker?
This E-Frame breaker is designed exclusively for bolt-on installation in Square D NF series panelboards. It requires three pole spaces for mounting.
What is the difference between Square D EDB, EGB, and EJB breakers?
All three are E-Frame breakers that fit NF panelboards, but they have different interrupting ratings at 480Y/277V. The EDB is standard-rated at 18 kAIC, the EGB is high-interrupting at 35 kAIC, and the EJB is extra-high interrupting at 65 kAIC.
What are the lug tightening torque specifications for the EDB36050?
For the factory-installed aluminum lugs, the required tightening torque is 34.5 lb-in (3.9 N-m) for 14-10 AWG wire, and 49.6 lb-in (5.6 N-m) for 8-2/0 AWG wire.
Can the EDB36050 be used in reverse-feed applications?
Yes, Square D EDB series breakers are suitable for reverse-feed applications. This allows them to be back-fed when utilized as a main breaker in a panelboard.
Is there a direct replacement for the EDB36050 if a higher interrupting rating is required?
Yes, if your system requires a higher fault current rating, you can use the EGB36050 (35 kAIC at 480Y/277V) or the EJB36050 (65 kAIC at 480Y/277V). Both share the same physical dimensions and bolt-on mounting as the EDB36050.
Is the EDB36050 rated for HVAC and lighting loads?
Yes, this breaker is both HACR-rated for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment, and HID-rated for high-intensity discharge lighting applications.
Does the EDB36050 feature a visual trip indicator?
Yes, it includes the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, the handle snaps to a midpoint position and a highly visible red flag appears to help quickly locate the tripped circuit.

Breaker ordered and delivered.
Called in as a last attempt because my regular supplier didn't have any of these in stock. I got a very friendly salesperson, and they sold me a new breaker for less than half of what my standard supplier would have. Definitely going here again.
