Eaton BRN250GFC - 50 A, 240 V Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton BRN250GFC — a 50A, 240V molded case circuit breaker built to protect your electrical system where it matters most. Designed for dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers, this unit combines compact engineering with robust performance for reliable everyday operation.

Compact design that fits tight panel spaces

The molded-case construction minimizes depth and width, making it easier to optimize dense panel layouts, retrofit projects, or installations in cramped service rooms. It delivers effective protection without sacrificing valuable enclosure real estate.

Stable, repeatable protection with a thermal-magnetic trip

The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides reliable protection across varying loads: the thermal element handles gradual current increases, while the magnetic element delivers a fast, decisive response to short circuits. The result is predictable interruption times that shield wiring and devices from damage.

Seamless compatibility with OEM panels

Engineered to pair with matching OEM loadcenters and panelboards, the BRN250GFC ensures proper fit, coordination, and straightforward replacement in existing electrical systems. This compatibility helps simplify upgrades and reduces the risk of misfits or compatibility issues.

Ideal for diverse applications

Whether you’re outfitting a residential subpanel, a commercial service panel, or light industrial distributions, this 50A, 240V breaker handles significant loads with confidence. It’s well-suited for high-current feeders such as HVAC circuits, water heating, or other demanding branch circuits that require solid protection.
