QC2080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

QC2080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need dependable protection for higher-amperage circuits, the QC2080 delivers the performance professionals expect. This 80-amp, 2-pole Type QC circuit breaker is built for 120/240VAC electrical systems and uses a thermal magnetic trip mechanism to respond to both prolonged overloads and sudden short circuits. Whether you're replacing an existing breaker or maintaining compatible electrical equipment, the QC2080 provides the protection needed to help keep your system operating safely and efficiently.

Its Quicklag design and Cable-In/Cable-Out configuration make it suitable for compatible installations where secure, reliable connections matter. With a 10k A.I.C. interrupting rating, the breaker is designed to interrupt fault currents within its rated capacity. It's also HACR rated, making it appropriate for qualifying heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications. Rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 40°C, the QC2080 is a practical choice for a wide range of electrical distribution needs.
