Eaton EGB2080FFG - 80 A, 480 V, 2-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton EGB2080FFG is an 80A, 480V, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to protect essential electrical Branch circuits with precision. Built for reliable protection in panelboards and loadcenters, this unit helps keep commercial, industrial, and even some residential systems safe and up to code by preventing damage from overloads and short circuits.

Key advantages

• Space-efficient design: Compact molded case construction maximizes panel space, making it easier to fit additional circuits in tight electrical cabinets.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Delivers stable, repeatable protection by combining a thermal element for gradual overloads with a magnetic mechanism for rapid response to short circuits.
• 2-pole protection: Simultaneously disconnects both hot conductors in a 480V system, ensuring safe, coordinated shutdown of multi‑wire circuits.
• High compatibility: Specifically designed to be compatible with matching OEM Eaton loadcenters and panelboards, simplifying replacement and retrofit projects.
• Diverse applications: Suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments where reliable branch circuit protection is essential.

What problems does it solve? When loads surge or a fault occurs, the EGB2080FFG quickly intervenes to prevent overheating, equipment damage, and fire risk. Its thermal-magnetic action provides predictable responses across varying temperatures and load conditions, reducing nuisance trips and increasing system uptime in everyday operations.

Ideal use cases

• Protecting branch circuits in commercial panelboards distributing lighting, outlets, and small equipment on 480V systems.
• Upgrading or replacing aging breakers in Eaton panelboards where OEM compatibility matters for a seamless fit.
• Installation in light industrial panels that require robust short-circuit protection without sacrificing panel space.
