The Multiquip EE61940 is a genuine OEM CB Altech 2 Pole 50A 240V UL489 circuit breaker designed for UL489-rated equipment in the Multiquip product lineup. As a direct OEM replacement, EE61940 is sourced to the original specification — correct pole configuration, amperage rating, and voltage rating, with no guesswork on compatibility. This part is confirmed for UL489 series applications, making it a straightforward swap when your existing breaker has tripped permanently, failed to reset, or shows signs of overheating or arcing damage.
Key Features
- Rated to Spec: — 50A continuous current rating at 240V with a 2-pole configuration matches the original breaker exactly, ensuring the electrical protection threshold is neither over- nor under-specified for your equipment.
- Genuine OEM Component: — Sourced directly through Multiquip's OEM supply chain, this breaker meets the same interrupt capacity and trip curve requirements as the original installed unit.
- UL489 Listed: — Carries UL489 certification, the required listing standard for molded-case circuit breakers used in motor branch circuits and electrical distribution equipment.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement: — Designed to match the original mounting footprint and terminal configuration for straightforward installation without reworking the panel or wiring harness.
- Electrical Safety Compliance: — A correctly rated, UL489-listed breaker is essential for protecting downstream wiring, motors, and connected loads from fault current damage — using an incorrectly rated breaker creates a genuine fire and equipment hazard.
- Confirmed Fitment: — Verified for UL489 series Multiquip equipment; reference part number EE61940 when ordering to confirm application match.
A circuit breaker serves as the primary overcurrent protection device in an electrical panel or power distribution circuit. When current draw exceeds the breaker's rated amperage — due to a fault, short circuit, or overloaded circuit — the breaker trips and interrupts power before wiring or connected components are damaged. A 2-pole, 50A, 240V breaker like the EE61940 protects both legs of a 240V circuit simultaneously. When a breaker fails to trip under fault conditions, or trips immediately under normal load, it must be replaced promptly to maintain safe, code-compliant operation of the equipment.
