The FA22050BC is a Square D FA-frame, bolt-on, 2-pole 50A 240V breaker with a 10kA interrupting rating. The FA frame is a commercial/industrial molded-case series designed to mount in Square D NQ, NF, and I-Line panelboards and switchboards — not in residential QO or Homeline loadcentres. The BC (bolt-on) connection means it must seat in a compatible bolt-on bus panelboard.

The FA22050BC is an FA-frame bolt-on breaker intended for Square D commercial/industrial panelboards such as the NQ and NF series that accept bolt-on devices. It is not interchangeable with residential QO or Homeline loadcentres. If you're unsure whether your board accepts FA-frame bolt-on breakers, send us your panelboard model number and we'll confirm.
Square D's FA-frame lineup has largely transitioned to newer MCCB series, so availability of original FA22050BC units can be limited through standard channels. Northern Breaker Group specialises in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers — we maintain stock of legacy Square D FA-frame breakers and can often source units that are no longer available through regular distributors.

The 'BC' suffix designates the bolt-on bus connection style, as opposed to a plug-on or I-Line connection. This means the breaker physically bolts to the bus bar in the panelboard. When sourcing a direct replacement, you must match not only the frame (FA), poles (2P), amperage (50A), and voltage (240V), but also the BC connection type — a plug-on or I-Line variant will not be a drop-in replacement. Our specialists can help verify an exact or approved equivalent.
