The CE3050E Federal Pioneer 3P 50A 600V 18kA Breaker is designed for reliable circuit protection in industrial applications. This three-pole breaker features a maximum continuous current of 50A and withstands up to 18kA fault currents, ensuring safety and efficiency. Ideal for new installations or replacements, it meets rigorous electrical standards.
The Federal Pioneer CE-frame series is a legacy Canadian product line and current production status can vary. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers, so we can often source the CE3050E as new-old-stock or a tested used unit. Contact us with your requirements and we'll advise on availability and any direct replacement options.
Not necessarily — breaker interchangeability depends on the specific panelboard manufacturer and the approved breaker list for that equipment. The CE3050E is a bolt-on CE-frame unit rated 50A/3P/600V/18kA, so it must match the bus stab design and physical dimensions of your panel. Share your panel model number with us and we'll confirm whether the CE3050E is an approved fit or identify a listed replacement.
The 18kA interrupting rating (also called AIC — Ampere Interrupting Capacity) means the CE3050E can safely clear a fault current of up to 18,000 amperes at 600V without damage to the breaker or risk of arc flash beyond its design limits. Before installing, verify that the available fault current at your panel's bus does not exceed 18kA; if it does, a breaker with a higher AIC rating is required to meet CEC (Canadian Electrical Code) safety standards.
