HGL36080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

HGL36080 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

Experience reliable protection for your electrical system with the HGL36080 circuit breaker. Designed for demanding commercial and industrial applications, this 80 A, 3-pole breaker from Schneider Electric delivers dependable performance with a breaking capacity of 18 kA at 600 VAC, ensuring your equipment is safeguarded from overloads and short-circuit events. Each pole features thermal-magnetic trip technology for accurate circuit disruption, and dual-break rotating contacts reduce peak current during a fault — helping to prolong system life and enhance safety. The front-facing semi-transparent cover allows for quick visual identification, and lugs on both the line and load sides give you installation flexibility. With support for field-installable accessories, the HGL36080 adapts to your system’s needs while reducing spare-parts inventory and streamlining maintenance.
