CH3080 - 80Amp Circuit Breaker

CH3080 - 80Amp Circuit Breaker

The CH3080 is an 80 Amp, 3-pole CH bolt-on circuit breaker used in compatible CH panelboards and switchgear. It’s designed for three-phase systems where a higher-load circuit needs dependable overcurrent protection. You’ll typically see this breaker used on larger HVAC systems, compressors, pumps, motors, and other 240V or 480V three-phase equipment.

When you're replacing one, it usually comes down to matching a few key details—CH type, 3 poles, 80 amps, and bolt-on connection—so it fits the panel the same way the original did. This breaker is rated for 240VAC and 480VAC systems, with a 14kA interrupting rating at 480VAC and 65kA at 240VAC. It uses a thermal magnetic trip unit with a fixed, non-interchangeable design, and is rated for 50/60Hz operation in 40°C environments. It is also HACR rated, which makes it suitable for HVAC applications where that listing is required.

The bolt-on connection provides a direct, secure fit inside compatible equipment. Once installed in a CH-compatible panelboard or switchgear, it handles standard protection for three-phase branch circuits carrying heavier electrical loads.
