Part of the classic E-Frame lineup, the Eaton EB3080 is a 3-pole, 80A molded case circuit breaker built for 240VAC commercial systems. It utilizes fixed thermal and magnetic trip units to safeguard industrial equipment. This legacy bolt-on breaker fits seamlessly into Eaton Pow-R-Line C and older Westinghouse panelboards. For facilities updating their infrastructure, the EHD3080 serves as the modern Series C substitute. Rated at 10kAIC, this HACR-certified MCCB includes load side lugs.
Which panelboards are compatible with the EB3080 circuit breaker?
The EB3080 is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line C panelboards and legacy Westinghouse panelboards that accept E-frame bolt-on breakers.
What type of conductors can be terminated on the EB3080?
The included lugs are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors, accepting wire sizes from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation as specified on the breaker label.
Is the EB3080 suitable for DC circuits?
Yes, in addition to its 240VAC rating, this breaker is rated for 250VDC applications, providing a 5kAIC interrupting capacity for direct current systems.
Are the trip settings on the EB3080 adjustable?
No, this breaker uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit functions are factory set and cannot be modified in the field.
Is the Westinghouse EB3080 the same as the Eaton EB3080?
Yes. Eaton acquired the Westinghouse distribution equipment business, so breakers marked as Cutler-Hammer, Westinghouse, or Eaton with the EB3080 catalog number are the same physical and electrical product.
What safety precautions should be taken before installing the EB3080?
Always de-energize the panelboard before installing or removing a bolt-on circuit breaker. Verify that the power is off using a properly rated voltage tester and follow all standard lockout/tagout procedures.
