Built for commercial applications, the Square D EJB34050 is a 3-pole, 50A E-Frame miniature circuit breaker. It provides robust thermal-magnetic protection with long-time and instantaneous trip functions. This bolt-on breaker installs into Square D NF panelboards, accepting 14-2/0 AWG copper or 12-2/0 AWG aluminum wire via included lugs. Rated to handle 65 kAIC at 480Y/277VAC and 100 kAIC at 240VAC, it suits high-fault environments. It includes a Visi-Trip indicator and is HACR and HID rated.
Which panelboards accept the Square D EJB34050 circuit breaker?
This E-frame breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D NF series panelboards. It requires three breaker spaces and utilizes a bolt-on mounting connection to secure directly to the bus.
How does the EJB34050 compare to the EDB34050 and EGB34050 breakers?
These E-frame breakers share the same physical dimensions and fit the same NF panelboards, but they feature different short-circuit interrupting ratings at 480Y/277V. The EDB is rated for 18 kAIC, the EGB for 35 kAIC, and the EJB provides the highest protection level at 65 kAIC.
What are the terminal torque specifications for wiring the EJB34050?
The aluminum lugs require specific tightening torque depending on the conductor size used. For 14 to 10 AWG wire, torque the terminals to 34.5 lb-in. For 8 to 2/0 AWG wire, torque to 49.6 lb-in.
Is this circuit breaker rated for HVAC or high-intensity lighting loads?
Yes, the EJB34050 is both HACR rated for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment, and HID rated for high-intensity discharge lighting circuits.
What are the magnetic hold and trip values for the EJB34050?
This thermal-magnetic breaker has a magnetic hold rating of 630A and a magnetic trip rating of 1800A. This means it will safely hold inrush currents up to 630A without nuisance tripping, while instantly clearing faults that reach 1800A.
Does the EJB34050 include a visual trip indicator?
Yes, it features the Square D Visi-Trip indicator. When an overload or short circuit occurs, the handle snaps to a center position and displays a highly visible red flag, allowing personnel to quickly identify the tripped circuit in a crowded panelboard.
