ITE | CR3B180 | Circuit Breaker | 180A | 3-Pole | 600V | Bolt-On

Meet the ITE CR3B180 Circuit Breaker — a rugged 3-pole device rated for 180 amperes and 600 volts, designed for maintenance, retrofit, and replacement in demanding electrical environments. With its bolt-on mounting, this breaker simplifies installation and allows for a secure, field-ready upgrade in compatible panels.

• Current rating: 180A provides reliable protection for heavy three-phase loads without overtripping in normal operation.
• Three-pole configuration ensures balanced protection across all phases, helping to prevent phase imbalances that can affect equipment performance.
• 600V voltage rating makes it suitable for industrial power distribution networks and demanding commercial systems.
• Bolt-on mounting supports straightforward replacement or retrofit in panels designed for bolt-on frames, reducing installation time and mechanical risk.

Fit and compatibility are critical for a safe, reliable upgrade. Confirm fit and ratings before ordering—the part number CR3B180 is the best reference for compatibility within ITE’s line and across similar panel configurations.

Ideal use cases

• Maintenance and retrofits in facilities with 3‑phase, 600V electrical systems where a like-for-like CR3B180 replacement is needed.
• Emergency replacements in aging switchgear to restore protective coverage without altering panel design.
• Panel upgrades in manufacturing, processing, or data-center environments where robust bolt-on protection is preferred for ongoing reliability.

Why this ITE breaker stands out

Beyond its basic specs, the CR3B180 is purpose-built for scenarios where a secure, mechanically stable mounting matters as much as electrical protection. The bolt-on design reduces field fabrication, minimizes installation errors, and supports quicker service turnaround in busy industrial settings. If you’re upgrading or replacing in a panel that expects a CR3B180, this unit aligns precisely with your needs.

Practical considerations and tips

• Always verify compatibility using the CR3B180 part number and your panel’s documentation before purchase.
• Follow applicable electrical codes and the panel manufacturer’s installation guidelines during replacement.
• Handle with power off and use proper PPE; after installation, test the circuit under supervised conditions to confirm proper operation.

For professionals maintaining or upgrading 3‑phase 600V systems, the ITE CR3B180 offers a reliable, straightforward path to restore and preserve electrical protection with a familiar, bolt-on form factor.
