GE FBN36TE045RV - 45 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The GE FBN36TE045RV is a robust 45A, 600V, 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver reliable branch circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Built for steady performance in real-world electrical distributions, this unit provides precise protection for three‑phase circuits while standing up to the demands of installation vibration and daily operation.

• Secure bolt-on mounting: engineered for a rigid, vibration‑resistant connection to the bus, helping maintain consistent electrical contact and minimizing nuisance trips.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: combines overload (thermal) and short-circuit (magnetic) protection in one compact package, delivering fast, repeatable response to faults and protecting downstream wiring and equipment.
• OEM-compatible design: specifically intended to be used with matching GE OEM load centers and panelboards, simplifying replacement, stocking, and panel maintenance.
• Versatile applications: suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical distributions where dependable 3‑pole protection is required for three‑phase systems.

The FBN36TE045RV is ideal for installations where a secure, long‑life protection device is needed to guard against overcurrent and short circuits in 3‑phase panelboards. With a 45A rating and a 600V voltage rating, it handles typical motor loads, compressors, fans, and other equipment common in commercial spaces and light industrial environments. Its molded‑case construction provides durability in busy service rooms, while the bolt‑on mounting ensures fast, solid installation in the field or retrofit projects.
