Part of Eaton's Series G family, the NGH308033E is an 800-amp molded case circuit breaker designed for commercial and industrial applications. This bolt-on MCCB installs into Eaton Pow-R-Line 4 panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers, and crosses to the newer PDG53M0800E2NN. Rated for 65 kAIC at 480VAC, this 80% rated breaker provides adjustable long-time and short-time (LS) trip functions. It also features true RMS sensing and zone selective interlocking for system coordination.
