Operating as a crucial safety component, the Siemens EF3B080 provides 80 amps of thermal-magnetic protection across three poles. This E-frame device is engineered for demanding commercial environments requiring fixed LI functions. Installation is straightforward for Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, alongside older I-T-E systems. When modernizing panels, technicians frequently substitute this unit with the ED63B080. It carries an 18kAIC rating at 240VAC and features a non-interchangeable trip.
Is the EF3B080 circuit breaker still in active production?
The EF3B080 is a legacy E frame breaker originally manufactured by I-T-E and Siemens. When modernizing panels, technicians frequently substitute this unit with the current ED frame equivalent, catalog number ED63B080.
Which panelboards are compatible with this E frame breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for direct installation into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, as well as legacy I-T-E panelboard systems.
What wire sizes are accepted by the load side lugs on this 80A breaker?
