Product FAQs

6 answers
Which electrical panels are compatible with the A50NI circuit breaker?

This breaker is designed specifically for legacy Wadsworth Type A load centers. It features a proprietary plug-on clip design and will not fit in panels made by other manufacturers.

Is there a modern replacement available for the obsolete Wadsworth A50NI?

Yes. While original Wadsworth breakers are no longer manufactured, Connecticut Electric produces an ETL listed, direct replacement under the catalog number UBIA50NI.

What does the NI designation mean on this Wadsworth breaker?

The NI stands for Non-Interchangeable. This indicates a Class CTL (Circuit Total Limiting) design, which prevents the breaker from being installed in panel slots not designed to accept it, helping to avoid panel overloading.

Can I use the A50NI to supply a 240V load?

No. The A50NI is a single-pole breaker rated for 120VAC circuits only. Supplying a 240V load requires a 2-pole breaker, such as the Wadsworth A250NI, which occupies two spaces in the panel.

How much panel space does the A50NI require?

This single-pole breaker requires one standard 1-inch space in a Wadsworth Type A load center.

Is the A50NI suitable for HVAC equipment?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration motor loads within its 50A, 120VAC capacity.

    Breaker panel

    I recently purchased a breaker panel cover. It arrived in a timely manner well packed and unharmed.

    The shipping was free so I was sceptical.

    All is well.
