Eaton FDC3050L - 50 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton FDC3050L is a dependable 50A, 600V, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to protect branch circuits in panelboards and loadcenters. Built to perform in everyday electrical environments, this unit blends compact engineering with robust protection for reliable operation across residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.

• Space-efficient design: Compact molded case form-factor helps maximize panel space without compromising protection.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Delivers stable, repeatable overcurrent and short-circuit protection, adapting to varying loads and temperatures for consistent performance.
• Three-pole configuration: Ideal for 3-phase systems and multi-wire circuits, reducing nuisance trips in balanced loads.
• Voltage and current rating: 50A rated, with a 600V maximum, suitable for a wide range of commercial and light industrial applications.
• OEM-compatible: Designed to be compatible with matching Eaton OEM loadcenters and panelboards, simplifying replacement and retrofit projects.
• Versatile application: Suitable for residential service panels, commercial load centers, and light industrial distribution where reliable branch circuit protection is essential.

Why this matters: in electrical systems, consistent protection against overloads and short circuits keeps wiring, devices, and whole facilities safer while minimizing downtime. The FDC3050L’s molded case construction reduces heat buildup and improves panel packing density, which helps maintain performance in tighter installations. For installers and facilities managers, this breaker provides a straightforward, reliable solution that fits standard Eaton-rated assemblies and maintains coordination with existing protection schemes.
