GE FBH36TE050RV - 50 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

GE FBH36TE050RV is a 50A, 600V, 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to protect branch circuits and prevent short circuits in panelboards and load centers. Its secure bolt-on mounting delivers a rigid, vibration-resistant connection to the bus, while the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection across varied load conditions.

Key benefit highlights

• Secure bolt-on mounting for a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection that stays reliable under equipment start-ups and electrical noise.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit combines instantaneous short-circuit protection with time-delayed overcurrent response for consistent protection across diverse loads.
• OEM-compatible design engineered to work with matching GE OEM load centers and panelboards, reducing compatibility risk during replacement or upgrades.
• Versatile applications suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments where 3-phase protection is essential.
