GE 35 Amp Molded Case Circuit Breaker FBV16TE035RV - 35 A, 600 V, 1-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The GE FBV16TE035RV 35 Amp Molded Case Circuit Breaker is built to reliably protect your electrical system from overloads and short circuits. Designed as a 1-pole, bolt-on device rated for up to 600V, this breaker is a robust choice for panelboards and load centers in homes, offices, and light-industrial environments. Its compact, purpose-built construction makes it straightforward to integrate with GE OEM panels while delivering consistent, repeatable protection performance.

• Secure bolt-on mounting for a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection that stays tight through everyday shocks, temps, and equipment start-ups.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit combines a precise thermal element for sustained overloads with an instantaneous magnetic response to sudden short circuits, providing stable protection curves you can rely on.
• 1-pole, 35A, 600V rating ideal for single-phase branch circuits and smaller feeders in a variety of installations, from residential panels to light commercial panels.
• OEM-compatible design engineered to work seamlessly with GE panelboards and load centers, reducing installation time and compatibility concerns.
• Versatile application suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical protection needs, including lighting circuits, receptacle circuits, and control circuits for small equipment.

How it protects your system is straightforward: when current exceeds 35A, the thermal element heats up to trigger a controlled trip, and if a rapid, high-current fault occurs, the magnetic core responds immediately to interrupt the circuit. This dual-action protection helps prevent overheating, insulation damage, and electrical fires while minimizing nuisance trips in normal operation.

Use scenarios this breaker excels in:

• Protecting branch circuits in main service panels and subpanels where space is at a premium and reliability matters.
• Feeding lighting circuits and small-appliance circuits in residential or light commercial settings.
• Serving as a dedicated protection device for small motors, HVAC controls, or control panels in light industrial environments.

Installation tips to maximize performance:

• Follow the panelboard manufacturer’s torque and mounting guidelines for bolt-on connections to ensure long-term reliability.
• Keep bus connections clean and free of corrosion or debris to maintain a solid electrical contact.
• Verify compatibility with your GE OEM load center to avoid compatibility issues and ensure correct trip settings.
