GE FBN36TE020RV - 20 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the GE FBN36TE020RV: a 20A, 600V, 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch-circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Built for durability, it combines secure mounting with precise protection, making it a smart choice for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications.

Why this bolt-on breaker stands out

• Secure bolt-on mounting: Provides a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection that stays tight through equipment start-ups and normal operation, reducing the risk of loose connections and stray trips.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Delivers stable, repeatable protection by blending thermal overload sensing with magnetic trip for short circuits—responding quickly to faults while minimizing nuisance trips.
• 3-pole design for multi-phase systems: Ideal for three-phase circuits or multi-wire panels, ensuring simultaneous protection across all conductors and simplifying wiring layouts.
• 600V rating with broad compatibility: Suitable for a wide range of GE OEM loadcenters and panelboards, enabling safe operation in low- to mid-voltage distribution environments.
• OEM-compatible and easy to spec: Engineered to match GE OEM panel components, streamlining replacements or upgrades without modifying the panel housing.

Who benefits most

Electricians, facilities managers, and panel installers who demand reliable, repeatable protection for branch circuits in commercial and light industrial spaces. The bolt-on design provides a secure mount in environments with vibration or equipment movement, helping reduce service calls due to connection issues.

Practical usage scenarios

• Upgrade or replace old breakers in GE-compatible loadcenters to restore precise trip characteristics and dependable protection.
• Protect three-phase equipment, distribution feeders, or shared multi-wire circuits in small to mid-size facilities.
• Install in panelboards where a bolt-on, molded-case design offers superior mechanical stability and long service life.
