The Eaton GBH2050 is a bolt-on breaker from Eaton's GBH frame series, rated 2-pole, 50A, 600V, 14kA AIC. Bolt-on breakers of this series are generally compatible with Eaton/Cutler-Hammer CH-type panelboards and commercial loadcentres that accept bolt-on GBH-frame devices — distinct from the plug-in BR series. The 600V rating makes it well suited to both residential and light-commercial/industrial panelboard applications.
Not sure if this breaker fits your panel? Send us your panel model number and we'll confirm compatibility.
No — the GBH series uses a bolt-on mounting mechanism, while the BR series uses a plug-in design. These two series are not interchangeable, and installing a bolt-on breaker in a plug-in-only panel (or vice versa) is unsafe and non-compliant with CEC requirements. Please verify your panel's breaker type before ordering, or contact us and we'll help you confirm the right fit.
Availability of specific GBH-frame breakers can vary. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find circuit breakers, so even if this unit is discontinued or in short supply elsewhere, we may have stock on hand or be able to source it. Contact our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counters for current availability and to request a quote.
Yes — the GBH2050 carries a 600V rating, which aligns with Canadian system voltages (including 120/240V single-phase and 347/600V three-phase applications where applicable). Always verify that the breaker's 14kA interrupting rating meets or exceeds the available fault current at the point of installation, as required by the CEC. When in doubt, consult a licensed electrician or your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
