FAQs
The BAB3080H uses bolt-on mounting, designed for a secure mechanical connection in three-pole configurations. This simplifies installation in control panels and switchgear while maintaining vibration resistance in demanding environments. For field upgrades, Bolt-on compatibility with standard panels reduces retrofit time and minimizes modification costs.
Key ratings include an 80 A continuous amperage rating, 10 kAIC interrupt capacity, and a 240 V operating range. These specs indicate suitable protection for typical three-phase loads, the ability to safely interrupt high fault currents, and compatibility with standard 240 V industrial power systems. Non-interchangeable trip type ensures consistent protective characteristics across similar devices.
This breaker is well suited for panel boards, machine control centers, and switchgear in manufacturing and process environments. Its three-pole design and bolt-on mounting support reliable protection for motors, transformers, and critical loads, reducing downtime and improving overall system reliability in OEM equipment and retrofits.
The BAB3080H is UL Listed and CSA Certified with HACR rating, verifying safety, performance, and motor protection suitability. These certifications simplify compliance with national electrical codes and industry standards, streamline procurement for regulated facilities, and improve maintenance planning with clearly documented approvals.
The BAB3080H includes a 1-year warranty from Eaton, reflecting manufacturer confidence in long-term reliability. For maintenance, consider scheduled inspections of bolt-on connections and trip settings, and keep spare units on hand to minimize downtime during replacements in critical production lines.
