BQCH2B080 - 80Amp Circuit Breaker

BQCH2B080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

The BQCH2B080 molded case circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 80-amp, bolt-on breaker designed for dependable circuit protection in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems. Built on the BQCH frame and rated for 14kA at 480VAC, this breaker provides the interrupting capacity required to help protect equipment and conductors from overloads and short circuits. With a 40°C calibration and HACR rating, it is suitable for use in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications where consistent performance under standard operating temperatures is essential. Designed for proper form, fit, and function, the BQCH2B080 integrates into compatible panelboards and distribution equipment, making it a practical solution for maintaining or servicing existing electrical systems.

This molded case circuit breaker is built to last and engineered to meet the electrical demands of legacy installations requiring an 80-amp, 2-pole configuration. Its bolt-on mounting design helps provide secure installation and reliable electrical connection within approved equipment.
