Feature: Quicklag technology combined with a thermal-magnetic action provides dual-path protection. Business Impact: it minimizes nuisance trips during normal startup surges while ensuring rapid interruption on short circuits, improving line uptime and protecting motors, drives, and controllers. Application: ideal for panel boards, motor control centers, and automated production lines where reliable protection and fast fault clearance are critical. Feature: 80 A amperage rating with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating. Business Impact: delivers robust protection for feeders and branch circuits against high-energy faults, reducing the risk of cascading failures and costly downtime. Application: commonly deployed in mid-size industrial networks, machine feeds, and control panels that run demanding loads at 240 V. In retrofit projects, engineers rely on the predictable response of the 80 A/240 V combination to coordinate protection with upstream fuses and circuit wiring, helping prevent over-protection that wastes energy. Feature: Shunt trip capability adjustable from 120 to 240 V. Business Impact: enables remote disconnection for safety interlocks and emergency stops, reducing operator risk and improving regulatory compliance. Application: integrates with plant-wide safety systems, including PLCs and safety relays, across manufacturing cells, packaging lines, and material handling equipment; it supports safer operation with minimal installation complexity. Feature: Bolt-on mounting and two-pole 240 V configuration simplify installation and field service. Business Impact: reduces wiring mistakes and downtime during panel upgrades, while ensuring a rigid mechanical connection that resists vibration in industrial environments. Application: fits standard enclosures and bus arrangements in control panels, with straightforward alignment and secure lugs for reliable long-term protection. Feature: Certifications and warranty provide confidence and regulatory alignment. Business Impact: UL Listed and CSA Certified devices streamline procurement and inspection cycles, while a 1-year warranty supports predictable maintenance budgets and supplier accountability.

FAQs
Yes. The BAB2080S uses bolt-on mounting and a two-pole configuration designed for 240 V circuits, simplifying retrofit work in existing panels. Its compact footprint—3.9 in depth by 4.8 in height by 2.2 in width—fits standard enclosures and bus bars, reducing panel space impacts while maintaining secure mechanical connection and reliable electrical protection.
The BAB2080S provides an 80 A amperage rating with a 10 kAIC interrupt rating, configured as a non-interchangeable trip for two-pole, 240 V service. This combination delivers precise overcurrent protection for feeders and motor circuits, while preventing nuisance trips on normal startup surges thanks to the thermal-magnetic response during operation.
Yes, the BAB2080S is well-suited for motor control centers and panel boards requiring reliable overload protection at 240 V. Its shunt trip option broadens safety when remote shutdown is needed, while bolt-on mounting and a rugged Quicklag mechanism support continuous duty in industrial automation settings subject to dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations.
The BAB2080S is UL Listed and CSA Certified, meeting common North American electrical protection standards. This simplifies approval during panel fabrication and change orders, supports safe procurement processes, and reduces field verification time. Always verify local code applicability, especially for high-risk installations near water or in confined spaces in facilities.
The BAB2080S carries a 1-year warranty, typical for industrial protective devices. Routine maintenance consists of visual inspections and periodic continuity checks; the non-interchangeable trip feature reduces accidental cross-compatibility errors during replacements. This translates to lower maintenance costs and predictable downtime, preserving equipment life and ensuring consistent protection without frequent surges or nuisance trips.
