In Critical Facilities, the electrical load on the critical (UPS output) bus is a continuous load that rarely changes (except to increase!).  A 100%-rated circuit breaker will carry 100% of its rating continuously, but an 80%-rated circuit breaker will carry only 80% of its rating.  Why are 80%-rated circuit breakers specified for continuous loads?  By specifying 100%-rated circuit breakers, we can reduce first cost (CAPEX) and increase availability.
