Product FAQs
9 answersWhat does the "HS" suffix mean on the BAB3080HS?
The "HS" suffix indicates that this breaker is equipped with a factory-installed 120V AC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely by applying a 120V signal, which is commonly used for emergency stops or automated control systems.
Can I field-install a shunt trip on a standard BAB3080 breaker?
No, shunt trips and other internal accessories for Eaton Quicklag miniature breakers are factory-installed. You must purchase the breaker with the accessory already integrated, such as this "HS" model.
Does this breaker require a separate control power source for the shunt trip?
Yes, the 120V AC shunt trip requires an external control voltage source to operate. When 120V is applied to the shunt trip leads, it mechanically trips the breaker to open the circuit.
What is the difference between the BAB3080HS and the QBHW3080HS?
The primary difference is the short-circuit interrupting rating. The BAB series is rated for 10kAIC at 240V AC, while the QBHW series is rated for 22kAIC. You must verify your panel's fault current requirements before substituting.
Can I use the BAB3080HS in a standard residential load center?
No, this is a bolt-on breaker designed for commercial and industrial panelboards. Standard residential load centers typically require plug-on breakers, such as the BR or CH series.
How does this breaker connect to the panelboard bus?
As a bolt-on breaker, it fastens directly to the busbars using screws rather than snapping into place. This provides a highly secure, vibration-resistant connection typical in commercial Pow-R-Line panelboards.
What does the "LI" trip function code mean for this breaker?
The "LI" designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (thermal) protection against overloads and Instantaneous (magnetic) protection against short circuits.
How much panel space does the BAB3080HS require?
This three-pole Quicklag breaker requires three standard 1-inch spaces in the panelboard.
Can I use this 240V breaker on a 208V or 120V system?
Yes, the 240V AC rating is a maximum voltage limit. This breaker is fully compatible with lower voltage systems, including 208V AC and 120V AC 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.
