The Eaton FD3050 is a 3-pole, 50A, 600V molded-case circuit breaker in Eaton's FD frame, rated at 18kA interrupting capacity with a bolt-on mounting. As an MCCB, it is designed for use in commercial and industrial panelboards and switchboards — not residential loadcentres. It is compatible with Eaton panelboards engineered to accept FD-frame bolt-on devices.
Specific panelboard compatibility depends on your enclosure's bus rating, frame cutout, and interrupting requirements. Send us your panelboard model number and we'll confirm fitment.
The FD3050 carries an 18kA symmetrical interrupting rating at 600V. For most commercial and light industrial distribution applications this is adequate, but sites fed from large utility transformers or with high available fault current may require a higher-interrupting-capacity frame. We recommend verifying your available fault current (AFC) against the breaker's rating before installation — our team can help if you need guidance.
Eaton's FD-frame series has seen product-line transitions over the years. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers, so whether the FD3050 is a current or legacy part, we maintain stock and sourcing channels across Canada. Contact our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters for availability and lead times.
The FD3050 can serve as either a main disconnect or a branch/feeder breaker, depending on your panelboard's design and the system's overcurrent coordination requirements. At 50A/600V with an 18kA interrupt rating, it is well suited for feeder or sub-panel main applications in commercial and industrial settings. Always consult your panel's documentation and a licensed electrician to confirm the correct application under Canadian Electrical Code requirements.
