GE FBN26TE100RV - 100 A, 600 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

GE FBN26TE100RV is a dependable 100A, 600V, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to protect branch circuits in panelboards and load centers. Built for steady performance, it delivers reliable overcurrent and short‑circuit protection across residential, commercial, and light industrial installations.

Key Features

• Secure bolt-on mounting: a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection that helps maintain a solid electrical interface even in environments with movement or cycling.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: combines thermal overload protection with magnetic short-circuit protection for stable, repeatable protection performance.
• OEM-compatible: designed to be compatible with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, facilitating straightforward replacement or upgrades.
• Versatile application: suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial use, providing flexible protection where it’s needed most.

Technical Specifications

• Manufacturer: GE
• Part Number: FBN26TE100RV
• Type: Thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker
• Amperage Rating: 100 A
• Voltage Rating: 600 V
• Number of Poles: 2

Ideal Use Scenarios

• Replacing aging 2-pole breakers in residential main panels that require a 100A feed
• Upgrading or expanding panelboards and load centers in light commercial settings
• Installing in environments where vibration or movement is a consideration, thanks to its secure bolt-on mounting

Why This GE Breaker Stands Out

What sets the FBN26TE100RV apart is its combination of a robust bolt-on connection with a reliable thermal-magnetic trip mechanism. The bolt-on design provides a durable, vibration-resistant interface that helps maintain a solid connection under dynamic conditions, while the thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers fast, predictable protection against both overloads and short circuits. When paired with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, it helps simplify maintenance and part replacement, reducing downtime and ensuring consistent protection across your electrical system.

Practical Guidance

To maximize performance and compatibility, verify that your panelboard supports bolt-on breakers and that the GE FBN26TE100RV is used with the appropriate OEM load center. This 2-pole, 100A unit is ideal for scenarios requiring strong, dedicated protection for high-current branch circuits in both new installations and panel updates.
