HGL36080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

HGL36080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

The HGL36080 is an 80A, 3-pole PowerPacT H circuit breaker designed for your compatible electrical distribution systems that need dependable thermal-magnetic protection. Inside, dual-break rotating contacts help reduce your peak current during a short-circuit event, while the built-in push-to-trip button gives qualified personnel a simple way to manually trip the breaker during testing or maintenance.

Key Features and Benefits

• 80A, 3-pole configuration for compatible three-pole electrical distribution applications.
• Thermal-magnetic trip protection responds to overloads and short-circuit conditions.
• Mechanical lugs on both ends make the line and load connection arrangement easy to identify.
• Dual-break rotating contacts help limit peak current during short-circuit faults.
• Push-to-trip button provides a convenient manual trip function for qualified personnel.
• 14 AWG to 3/0 AWG conductor range supports copper or aluminum wiring.
• 80% continuous-current rating for systems designed around that rating.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HGL36080 carries UL, CSA, and NOM certifications and is CE marked. Applicable standards include UL, CSA, NEMA, NOM-003-SCFI-2000, and IEC 60947-2. The breaker’s front cover is rated IP40 under IEC 60529, and the unit is classified for Pollution Degree 3 under IEC 60947-1.

Where It Works Best

The HGL36080 is a good fit for compatible commercial, industrial, and facility electrical distribution systems that call for an 80A, three-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breaker with line- and load-side lugs.

It’s especially relevant when the system requires an 18 kA interrupting rating at 600VAC and a unit-mount configuration. The 14 AWG through 3/0 AWG Cu/Al conductor range also gives installers useful flexibility when the wiring and equipment specifications match.
