BQCH2B080 - 80Amp Circuit Breaker

BQCH2B080 - 80Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're searching for a BQCH2B080, chances are you're trying to match an existing breaker in a panel or piece of equipment. This 80 amp, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker is built for systems that use a BQCH frame and call for a 14kA interrupting rating at 480VAC. When the ratings and frame type match what's already installed, replacing a breaker becomes much more straightforward.

The bolt-on mounting design allows the breaker to be secured in compatible equipment, while the 2-pole configuration is commonly used where both poles need to open together. Breakers like the BQCH2B080 are often found in commercial buildings, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, schools, and other properties that depend on electrical distribution equipment every day.

This breaker is also HACR rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment where that rating is specified. With a 40°C ambient rating, it can be used in a wide range of commercial and industrial environments. Whether you're replacing a breaker that has reached the end of its service life or tracking down the correct part for an existing installation, the BQCH2B080 provides the ratings and configuration needed for a compatible replacement.
