Product FAQs
7 answersWhich Eaton panelboards are compatible with the BAB1080 circuit breaker?
The BAB1080 is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, specifically the PRL1a and PRL2a series. It also fits legacy Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse panelboards that accept bolt-on Quicklag breakers.
Can I use the BAB1080 to replace an older Westinghouse Quicklag breaker?
Yes, the Eaton BAB1080 is a direct replacement for older Westinghouse and Cutler-Hammer BAB frame breakers. Eaton acquired these product lines and maintained the exact physical dimensions and bolt-on mounting style.
What is the difference between the BAB1080 and the QBHW1080?
Both are 1-pole, 80A bolt-on breakers with the same physical footprint for Pow-R-Line panelboards. The difference is the interrupting rating. The BAB1080 is rated at 10 kAIC, while the QBHW1080 is rated at 22 kAIC.
Is the Eaton BAB1080 HACR rated?
Yes, this 80A breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific safety certification.
Can the BAB1080 be used in direct current (DC) applications?
Yes. While primarily used for 120/240VAC systems, this breaker is also certified for DC applications. It provides a 5 kAIC interrupting rating at both 24VDC and 48VDC.
What type of trip mechanism does the BAB1080 use?
It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal component provides long-time protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component provides instantaneous protection against short circuits.
How does the BAB1080 mount into the panelboard?
It features a bolt-on connection, meaning it physically bolts directly to the panelboard busbar. This provides a highly secure, vibration-resistant connection commonly required in commercial and industrial applications.

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.
