The Square D EGB24050 is a 50A, two-pole bolt-on circuit breaker designed for heavy-duty commercial environments. As part of the E-Frame family, it delivers consistent thermal-magnetic protection against overcurrents. Designed specifically for Square D NF panelboards, this breaker features a secure bolt-on connection that ensures stable performance under load. With an interrupting rating of 35 kAIC at 480Y/277V, it handles demanding systems.
What panelboards are compatible with the EGB24050 circuit breaker?
The EGB24050 is an E-frame bolt-on circuit breaker designed exclusively for use in Square D NF series panelboards. It is not compatible with NQ or I-Line panelboards.
Can I use the EGB24050 to replace an EDB24050?
Yes. The EGB24050 shares the same physical E-frame footprint as the EDB24050 but offers a higher interrupting rating (35kAIC versus 18kAIC at 480Y/277VAC). It is a direct, upgraded replacement for NF panelboards.
What is the difference between Square D EDB, EGB, and EJB circuit breakers?
The difference lies in their maximum interrupting ratings at 480Y/277VAC. EDB breakers are rated at 18kAIC, EGB breakers are rated at 35kAIC, and EJB breakers provide the highest rating at 65kAIC. All three share the same physical dimensions and mount in NF panelboards.
What wire sizes are accepted by the EGB24050 terminals?
The factory-installed standard lugs on the EGB24050 accept 14 AWG to 2/0 AWG copper wire, or 12 AWG to 2/0 AWG aluminum wire.
Does the EGB24050 mount on a standard DIN rail?
No. The EGB24050 is a bolt-on circuit breaker that must be bolted directly to the busbar of a Square D NF panelboard. It does not support DIN rail mounting.
Is the EGB24050 rated for High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting applications?
Yes, Square D E-frame breakers, including the EGB24050, are UL Listed as HID rated, making them suitable for switching high-intensity discharge lighting loads. They are also HACR rated for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
