Product FAQs

7 answers
Is the GHC2080 suitable for reverse feed applications?

Yes, this breaker is rated for reverse feed use. The line and load connections can be swapped if required by your specific enclosure or panel design.

What enclosures or systems are compatible with this breaker?

The GHC2080 is designed for use in Eaton Series C panelboards, motor control centers, and OEM panels. It can also be mounted on a standard DIN rail when equipped with the correct adapter.

Does this breaker bolt directly to a panelboard bus?

No, this is a unit mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It requires cable connections at both the line and load terminals rather than bolting or plugging directly onto a busbar.

What wire sizes do the factory lugs accept?

The included line and load lugs are designed to accept conductor sizes ranging from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG.

Can this Series C breaker be used in DC circuits?

Yes, it is rated for DC applications up to 125/250 Vdc, providing an interrupting capacity of 14 kAIC.

Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable?

No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit trip points are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.

Will this replace an older Cutler-Hammer or Westinghouse GHC breaker?

Yes, the Eaton GHC2080 is a direct replacement for legacy Cutler-Hammer and Westinghouse breakers with the same catalog number. It shares the exact same physical dimensions and mounting footprint.
