BQ3D080 - 80Amp Circuit Breaker

BQ3D080 - 80Amp Circuit Breaker

The BQ3D080 is an 80-amp, 3-pole bolt-on circuit breaker designed for use in compatible BQ electrical equipment. Rated for 240VAC, it provides overcurrent protection for three-phase circuits and features a common-trip design that opens all three poles together when a fault occurs. The bolt-on mounting style helps you ensure a secure fit in panelboards and distribution equipment designed for BQ-frame breakers.

You'll commonly find the BQ3D080 in commercial buildings, schools, warehouses, apartment complexes, and light industrial facilities. With a 10kA interrupting rating and HACR certification, it is often used for feeder circuits, HVAC equipment, motor loads, and general power distribution. When replacing an existing breaker, matching the original frame type, amperage, voltage rating, and mounting configuration is important. The BQ3D080 is designed for those compatible applications, providing the form and fit needed to keep existing systems operating as intended.
