The Eaton BW50AAG is a 50-ampere, 2-pole, thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed for use in Eaton's BR and BL load centers and safety switches. It features a plug-on design for easy installation and utilizes a common trip mechanism for both poles, ensuring that if a fault occurs on one pole, both poles will disconnect simultaneously. This provides reliable overload and short-circuit protection for 240-volt branch circuits, commonly used for major appliances like electric ranges, ovens, air conditioners, and water heaters. Its compact, standard 1-inch per pole form factor allows for maximum circuit flexibility within the panel.
