Eaton HBAX2080 - 80 A, 240 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton HBAX2080 is an 80A, 240V, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Built for durability and long-term reliability, this breaker is a trusted choice for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations.

Secure bolt-on mounting for a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection

Designed with a bolt-on mounting style, the HBAX2080 delivers a firm, vibration-resistant connection to the bus bars inside your panelboard. This reduces the risk of loose connections that can cause nuisance trips or warming over time, helping your electrical system stay stable even in environments with vibration or movement.

Thermal-magnetic trip unit for stable, repeatable protection

The integrated thermal-magnetic trip mechanism provides two layers of protection: the thermal element handles gradual overloads with predictable, repeatable response, while the magnetic element delivers instantaneous tripping for short-circuit events. This combination ensures reliable protection across a range of temperatures and electrical conditions, helping protect wiring, devices, and downstream circuits.

OEM compatibility and versatile application

Engineered to pair with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, the HBAX2080 is ideal for replacements and new installations where a proven, manufacturer-aligned solution is preferred. Its two-pole design makes it suitable for 240V circuits and multi-wire branch circuits commonly found in homes, small businesses, and light industrial setups.
