The FA24050AB is a Square D FA-frame moulded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) — a bolt-on, 2-pole, 50 A, 277 V, 18 kA unit suited for commercial and industrial panelboards and switchboards that accept FA-frame bolt-on breakers. It is not designed for residential loadcentres. The AB suffix denotes an A-base, B-mounting configuration, so correct panelboard bus compatibility must be verified before installation.
Send us your panelboard model number and we'll confirm fit — our specialists stock and source obsolete Square D FA-frame breakers across Western Canada.
The 'AB' suffix indicates the breaker uses an A-base (standard FA-frame base) with a B-style bolt-on mounting. This determines how the breaker connects to the panelboard bus. It's important to match this exactly when replacing an existing unit — using a different suffix (e.g., AC or AD) may result in an incompatible fit even within the same FA frame series.
The FA24050AB can serve as the overcurrent protection device feeding a hot tub or spa installation, provided your wiring method, load calculations, and local code requirements (including CEC Section 68 in Canada) are met. However, a dedicated disconnect (within sight of the equipment) may also be required. We recommend confirming with your electrical inspector or engineer before installation.
