SKU: BAB2050
Eaton BAB2050 is a 50A, 2-pole, 120/240V bolt-on thermal-magnetic circuit breaker from the BAB Quicklag series with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. Commonly used in commercial and industrial panelboards where a non-interchangeable bolt-on branch breaker is required; always confirm panel compatibility and local code before ordering.

What this product is for
The Eaton BAB2050 is a bolt-on branch circuit breaker used for overcurrent protection in compatible Eaton/Cutler-Hammer panelboards and distribution equipment. It is a 2-pole thermal-magnetic breaker rated 50A at 120/240V AC with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating.
Use for
Use for 120/240V branch circuits in commercial, industrial, and light industrial installations where a Type BAB bolt-on breaker is specified. Typical applications include panelboard branch protection for equipment loads, small distribution sections, and other circuits requiring a 2-pole 50A breaker.
Avoid for
Avoid using this breaker in panels that require a different breaker family, plug-on mounting, or a higher interrupt rating. Do not substitute based on appearance alone; BAB breakers are non-interchangeable and must match the panelboard listing and manufacturer requirements.
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors replacing or specifying an Eaton/Cutler-Hammer Type BAB breaker where bolt-on mounting and standard 10 kAIC protection are required. It suits service work, tenant improvements, and panel maintenance where exact breaker family match matters.
Installed in
Installed in compatible Eaton/Cutler-Hammer panelboards and related distribution assemblies designed for Type BAB branch breakers. As a rule of thumb, a 50A 2-pole breaker is commonly used for dedicated 240V loads when conductor sizing, equipment rating, and panel approval all align. Actual application depends on load calculation, conductor type, termination rating, and local electrical code.
Why this product exists
This breaker provides branch-circuit protection with bolt-on retention for panelboards where secure mechanical mounting and specified breaker fit are required. The thermal-magnetic trip design provides inverse-time overload protection and instantaneous response for short-circuit conditions.
Compared with similar products
Compared with plug-on breakers, the BAB2050 uses bolt-on mounting for listed panelboard applications that require that connection style. Compared with higher AIC models, this version is the standard 10 kAIC option, so it is important to verify available fault current before selection.
