Westinghouse | HFB3080 | Circuit Breaker | 80A | 3-Pole | 600V | Bolt-On

Engineered for demanding electrical environments, the Westinghouse HFB3080 circuit breaker provides dependable protection for 3-phase power systems. With an 80-amp rating, three poles, and a 600-volt operational limit, this bolt-on breaker is designed to withstand the rigors of industrial and commercial panels while delivering clear, decisive interruption when faults occur.

Core specifications at a glance

• Amperage: 80 A
• Poles: 3-Pole
• Voltage rating: 600 V
• Mounting type: Bolt-On
• Part number: HFB3080

Why this matters: A 3-pole design is essential for balanced protection in three-phase systems, ensuring all conductors are simultaneously interrupted under a fault. The 80 A rating protects downstream equipment without nuisance tripping in normal operation, while the 600 V rating supports standard industrial and commercial distribution equipment.

Who should consider the Westinghouse HFB3080?

• Maintenance teams replacing aging breakers in service panels that call for a bolt-on, 3-pole device
• Retrofit projects updating legacy installations to current protection standards
• New installations where a sturdy, bolt-on protection interface is required in 3-phase 600 V systems

Important compatibility note: To ensure a correct fit, use the part number HFB3080 as the reference and confirm the panel's ratings and mounting compatibility before ordering. This helps avoid mismatches with older Westinghouse gear or panels that require a bolt-on 3-pole unit.

Practical guidance for installation and use: Handle with standard electrical safety practices, verify that the panel and bus configuration matches a 3-pole 600 V bolt-on device, and secure the unit per your panel’s mounting requirements. After installation, test the circuit to confirm proper tripping behavior within your system's protection scheme.
