The Leviton LB280 is a plug-in style breaker from Leviton's LB series, rated 2-pole, 80A, 240V with a 10kA interrupting capacity. It is designed for use in compatible Leviton loadcentres and panelboards that accept LB-series plug-in breakers. Due to Leviton's more limited panel ecosystem compared to major brands, fitment should be verified before ordering — send us your panel model and we'll confirm compatibility.
The LB280 is designed for Leviton loadcentres and panelboards that accept LB-series plug-in breakers. Leviton's panel lineup is more limited than brands like Siemens or Square D, so we recommend confirming your panel model number with us before ordering to ensure a proper fit.
No — the LB280 is a Leviton LB-series plug-in breaker and is only approved for use in compatible Leviton panels. Breakers from other manufacturers (e.g., Square D, Siemens, Eaton) are not interchangeable, even if the amperage and voltage ratings match. Using a non-listed breaker in a panel is a code violation under the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
Yes — the LB280's 2-pole, 240V, 80A rating makes it well-suited for higher-demand 240V loads such as hot tubs, electric vehicle chargers, or large HVAC equipment, provided it is installed in a compatible Leviton panel and the circuit wiring is appropriately sized for 80A per the CEC.
