Engineered for commercial use, this 50A PowerPacT H-Frame breaker provides robust overcurrent protection. It features fixed thermal and magnetic elements for standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) functions. Designed for unit mounting, it installs into industrial control panels and switchboards. This model replaces the discontinued FAL26050. Rated 18kAIC at 480VAC, it includes factory-installed lugs and a Visi-Trip indicator for rapid fault identification.
