The Square D EGB14050 is a bolt-on, molded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the EGB frame series, rated 1-pole, 50A, 277V AC, 35kAIC. As a commercial/industrial MCCB, it is designed to mount in Square D panelboards and switchboards that accept EGB-frame bolt-on breakers — not residential loadcentres. It is suited for lighting and branch-circuit protection in commercial and light-industrial applications operating at 277V (single-phase leg of a 480Y/277V system).
Panel and switchboard compatibility depends on the specific enclosure series and bus configuration. Send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm the right fit.
The EGB14050 is a bolt-on MCCB designed for Square D commercial and industrial panelboards and switchboards that accept EGB-frame breakers. It is not intended for residential loadcentres such as QO or Homeline panels. If you're unsure whether your panelboard is compatible, contact us with your enclosure model and we'll confirm.
The 277V rating means this breaker is designed to protect single-phase branch circuits on a 480Y/277V wye distribution system — the standard commercial voltage used for fluorescent and LED lighting circuits, as well as some HVAC and commercial loads. It is not rated for use on standard 120/240V residential systems.
The EGB series has been largely superseded by newer Square D MCCB frames. However, Northern Breaker Group specialises in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers, and we maintain access to new, reconditioned, and surplus stock. Contact our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counter for current availability and to request a quote.
