Part of the E-Frame series, the EGB34080 provides reliable overcurrent protection for commercial and industrial systems. This three-pole, 80A miniature circuit breaker is rated for 35kAIC at 480Y/277V. It installs via a secure bolt-on connection into Square D NF panelboards. The unit accepts 14-2/0 AWG copper or 12-2/0 AWG aluminum wire via included lugs. Features include a Visi-Trip indicator for fast fault identification and an HACR rating. The thermal-magnetic trip unit ensures accuracy.
Which panelboards are compatible with the EGB34080 circuit breaker?
This E-frame bolt-on breaker is exclusively designed for use in Square D NF series panelboards. It mounts directly to the panelboard bus and is not compatible with standard QO, NQ, or I-Line load centers.
Can the Square D EGB34080 be used on 240V or 120V circuits?
Yes. While its maximum voltage rating is 480Y/277VAC with a 35kAIC rating, it is also fully rated for 240VAC and 120VAC systems. At those lower voltages, the interrupting capacity increases to 65kAIC.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the terminals on the EGB34080?
For the standard AL100FD lugs supplied on this breaker, tighten 14 to 10 AWG wire to 35 lb-in, and 8 to 2/0 AWG wire to 50 lb-in.
What is the difference between the EDB34080, EGB34080, and EJB34080?
These three 3-pole 80A breakers share the same physical dimensions and fit the same Square D NF panelboards, but they offer different interrupting capacities at 480Y/277VAC. The EDB34080 is rated for 18kAIC, the EGB34080 is rated for 35kAIC, and the EJB34080 provides 65kAIC.
What does the "LI" trip function mean on this breaker?
The "LI" designation indicates a thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection. The Long-Time thermal function protects against sustained overloads, while the Instantaneous magnetic function trips immediately during short circuits. Both trip thresholds are fixed on the EGB34080.
Is the EGB34080 rated for HACR applications?
Yes, this EGB series breaker is HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) rated. This certifies it for use in HVAC equipment motor group applications to protect the equipment and the branch circuit wiring.
What wire sizes and materials are supported by the lugs on the EGB34080?
The factory-installed mechanical lugs accept copper (Cu) wire ranging from 14 AWG up to 2/0 AWG, or aluminum (Al) wire from 12 AWG up to 2/0 AWG.
Are there maximum branch breaker pairing limits when installing the EGB34080?
Yes. When installing E-frame breakers in a Square D NF panelboard, the combined current rating of the breakers mounted directly opposite each other on the same bus connector must not exceed 170 Amps. For example, you can mount this 80A breaker opposite another breaker rated up to 90A, but no larger.
