Eaton EGB3050FFG - 50 A, 480 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Engineered for dependable protection in demanding electrical panels, the Eaton EGB3050FFG is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated at 50 A and 480 V. Designed for use in panelboards and load centers, this device delivers robust branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in commercial and light industrial environments.

Why this breaker stands out

• Compact molded-case design maximizes panel space, making it easier to fit into dense electrical enclosures without sacrificing protection.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection performance—thermal elements handle gradual overloads while the magnetic element delivers instantaneous trips for high fault currents.
• Three-pole configuration for 480V systems ensures coordinated protection across all phases in a three-phase installation, reducing the risk of unbalanced faults.
• OEM panelboard compatibility crafted to work with matching Eaton panelboards and loadcenters for seamless integration and consistent trip characteristics.
• Versatile for commercial and light industrial use—a reliable choice for distribution panels, equipment rooms, and other 480V applications where dependable protection is critical.
