Part of the Quicklag family, the Eaton BAB2080 delivers 80A of thermal-magnetic protection for commercial applications. This two-pole miniature circuit breaker handles standard distribution loads with consistent reliability. The bolt-on mounting provides a secure, vibration-proof connection. It installs into Eaton Pow-R-Line, Cutler-Hammer, and Westinghouse panelboards, replacing legacy QNBL, QB, and BA breakers. Rated at 10kAIC at 120/240VAC, it ensures robust short-circuit defense.
Which panelboards accept the BAB2080 circuit breaker?
The BAB2080 is compatible with Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, such as the PRL1a and PRL2a series. It also retrofits into legacy Westinghouse, Cutler-Hammer, and Bryant bolt-on panels.
Is there a higher interrupting rating replacement for the BAB2080?
Yes. The BAB2080 has a standard 10kAIC rating. For a 22kAIC application, use catalog number QBHW2080. For a 42kAIC rating, use the HBAX2080. All share the same Quicklag bolt-on footprint.
Can the BAB2080 be used for HVAC equipment?
Yes. Like most Quicklag breakers from 15A to 100A, the BAB2080 is HACR rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications.
What wire sizes are supported by the BAB2080 lugs?
The box lugs on this 80A breaker accept 8 AWG up to 1/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.
Is the BAB2080 rated for DC applications?
Yes. In addition to its 120/240VAC rating, the BAB2080 is rated for DC applications up to 80VDC, providing a 5kA interrupting capacity.
How does the BAB2080 secure to the panelboard?
The BAB2080 uses a bolt-on connection. It fastens directly to the panelboard bus with screw terminals, providing a secure electrical connection that resists vibration better than standard plug-on breakers.

We placed our first order with superbreakers.com recently for a breaker we weren't able to acquire locally. I ordered the breaker way ahead of time because I've had issues with shipping for products purchased online in the past. The estimate for the item when I initially ordered was 3 days. Without adding an expedited shipping options, the breaker arrived the next day. We installed it this week, and so far so good. In my opinion, they sell quality parts and have excellent turn around time. Very impressed.
