Eaton EGS3080FFG - 80 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton EGS3080FFG is an 80 A, 600 V, 3‑pole molded case circuit breaker engineered to deliver reliable branch circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. Its compact MCCB form saves space in crowded panels, while the thermal‑magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection across a wide range of loads and conditions.

Why this breaker stands out

• Space‑efficient design: A compact molded case footprint frees up valuable panel space without compromising protection performance.
• Thermal‑magnetic trip unit: Combines thermal overload protection with magnetic short‑circuit protection for precise, predictable tripping behavior you can trust.
• 3‑pole configuration for 3‑phase systems: Ideal for commercial and light industrial applications that run on 3‑phase power, supporting dependable protection for multi‑wire circuits.
• OEM‑matched compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with matching Eaton OEM loadcenters and panelboards, simplifying upgrades and replacements.
• Durable, reliable performance: Built to stand up to everyday electrical demands in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments.

What problems it solves

• Protects wiring and devices from overload currents that can lead to insulation damage or fire risk.
• Fast, reliable short‑circuit interruption minimizes equipment damage and downtime.
• Consistent trip characteristics reduce nuisance trips while maintaining strong protection when it matters most.
• Streamlines panel maintenance with a standard, widely compatible design that fits many Eaton‑based panel ecosystems.

Ideal use cases

• New installations or panel upgrades in light commercial offices, retail spaces, or warehouses that run 3‑phase systems up to 600 V.
• Replacement or retrofit in existing Eaton OEM loadcenters and panelboards to maintain a consistent protection scheme.
• Feeder circuits and branch circuits in electrical rooms where space is at a premium and reliability is critical.
