Schneider Electric BGL26080 80A 2-Pole 347 V Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric BGL26080 80A 2-Pole 347 V Circuit Breaker is a purpose-built protective device designed for commercial and light‑industrial electrical panels. With two-pole construction, it interrupts both hot legs when faults occur, delivering reliable overload and short‑circuit protection at a 347 V rating. This makes it a dependable choice for 347 V distribution networks that demand consistent performance and quick fault isolation.

• Two-pole protection for reliable shut-off — simultaneously disconnects both live conductors on fault, enhancing safety and reducing the risk of line‑to‑line faults spreading through the circuit.
• 80-amp current rating — suitable for feeders and branch circuits that drive motors, HVAC components, and other high‑demand loads in commercial settings.
• 347-volt rating — matched for 347 V distribution environments common in large facilities and industrial applications.
• Part number BGL26080 — precise replacement within Schneider Electric’s ecosystem, ensuring compatibility with existing panels and enclosures.
• Ideal use cases — protecting feeders and motor circuits in offices, warehouses, manufacturing spaces, and other facilities that rely on 347 V distribution networks.
• Why this breaker stands out — backed by Schneider Electric’s engineering standards, it combines durable construction with predictable trip characteristics for maintenance planning and downtime minimization.
• Installation and safety tips — have a qualified electrician verify panel compatibility and voltage rating; label the circuit after trips and perform a proper reset procedure following any fault.
• Practical tips for field use — keep a spare on hand for rapid replacement, verify that the protected load matches the breaker rating, and document any replacements to maintain panel integrity.

Whether upgrading an existing panel or stocking a reliable spare, the Schneider Electric BGL26080 delivers robust protection, straightforward replacement, and compatibility within Schneider Electric’s circuit-protection lineup.
