KAL36080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

KAL36080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

Working with existing electrical equipment usually means matching a very specific set of details, and the KAL36080 gives you plenty of concrete specifications to check. This 80-amp, three-pole Type KAL molded-case circuit breaker uses thermal-magnetic protection and includes both line and load lugs. The KAL36080 is built to last, but compatibility should always drive the decision to replace it. Check the Type KAL designation, 80A rating, three-pole layout, lug arrangement, dimensions, and electrical ratings against the existing equipment before installation.

Key Features and Benefits

• 80A, 3-pole design: Clearly defined electrical configuration for matching compatible existing equipment.
• Type KAL construction: An important identifier when sourcing a form, fit, and functional replacement for a Type KAL breaker.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Uses the specified thermal-magnetic trip design.
• Line and load lugs included: Both connection points are supplied, giving you a clear lug arrangement to compare with the existing breaker.
• 60 Hz operation: Matches systems requiring the specified 60 Hz frequency.
• 40°C rating: Provides another important specification to verify against the installation requirements.

Material Compliance and Certifications

No specific UL, CSA, IEC, RoHS, REACH, or other material compliance or certification information was provided for the KAL36080. Those approvals should not be assumed based on the breaker type or electrical specifications. If a particular certification is required for your equipment or installation, verify that it applies to this exact part number.

Where It Works Best

The KAL36080 80A 3-pole circuit breaker is a practical choice for compatible existing and legacy equipment that specifically calls for a Type KAL molded case circuit breaker with thermal-magnetic protection. With line and load lugs already included and clearly stated dimensions, you have several useful details for checking the replacement against the breaker currently installed.

Before installation, compare the complete specification set—not just the 80A rating. Confirm the three-pole configuration, Type KAL designation, 60 Hz frequency, 40°C rating, lug arrangement, physical dimensions, operating voltage, and required interrupting capacity. That careful check of form, fit, and function is especially important when keeping older electrical equipment in service.
