Designed for heavy-duty power distribution, this 80-amp Siemens MCCB provides dependable long-time and instantaneous trip functions. The 3-pole device is engineered to protect commercial circuits from overloads and short circuits at 240V. Featuring a standard bolt-on configuration, it mounts firmly into ITE and Siemens P1-P3 panelboards. Rated at 22 kAIC, this high-interrupting BQH-type breaker ensures superior fault clearance. It serves as a cross-reference for QOB380VH installations.
