Eaton 248039 PLHT-C80/3 MCB 3P 80 A C Curve 20kA DIN Rail

The Eaton PLHT-C80/3 (article 248039) is a 3-pole 80 A industrial miniature circuit breaker from the PLHT High-Tripping series, designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection on DIN-rail final circuits in industrial installations. Rated and tested to IEC/EN 60947-2, it meets the more demanding requirements of industrial switchgear and controlgear rather than the household appliance standard, making it the correct choice for factory distribution boards, machine control panels, and commercial HVAC switchgear. Tripping characteristic C gives reliable protection against moderate inrush currents typical of resistive and lightly inductive industrial loads.
