HGB3B080B - 80Amp Circuit Breaker

HGB3B080B - 80Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need an 80-amp, 3-pole circuit breaker for a compatible HGB G-frame panelboard application, the HGB3B080B has a very specific set of electrical and physical characteristics worth checking. This breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit for overload and short-circuit protection and carries interrupting ratings of 14 kAIC at 600Y/347V and 35 kAIC at 480Y/277V.

Key Features and Benefits

• 80A, 3-pole configuration: Designed for compatible three-pole applications requiring an 80-amp breaker.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Responds to both sustained overloads and short-circuit conditions.
• HGB G-frame design: Made for compatible low-voltage panelboard applications using this frame configuration.
• Load-side lugs included: Uses TC1GG20 load-side lugs only.
• Copper or aluminum conductors: Accommodates wire sizes from 8 AWG to 1/0 AWG.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HGB3B080B is UL Listed, an important consideration when confirming a circuit breaker's suitability for a particular installation. Manufacturer specifications also identify an ECCN classification of EAR99 / AL N, and the breaker is classified as non-dangerous goods.

Where It Works Best

The HGB3B080B makes the most sense when the application specifically calls for an 80A, 3-pole HGB G-frame thermal-magnetic circuit breaker with the corresponding voltage and interrupting ratings. It's particularly relevant for maintenance and replacement work where matching the characteristics of an existing breaker is critical.
