Key specifications at a glance

• Amperage rating: 225 A
• Voltage rating: 120/240 V
• Configuration: Main Lug, 3-Phase, 4-Wire (3PH 4W)
• Application: Primary distribution panel for feeders and subcircuits

Why this main lug panel stands out

• Main lug design for flexible retrofits: With a main-lug configuration, you can retrofit environments where a main breaker isn’t necessary or where you’re integrating with existing service equipment. This makes it a practical choice for panel upgrades and expansions without changing the upstream protection scheme.
• Solid 3-phase, 4-wire performance: The 3PH 4W setup aligns with modern industrial equipment and commercial systems, ensuring balanced loads, improved efficiency, and straightforward compatibility with a wide range of motors, drives, and controlled loads.
• Reliable 120/240V distribution: Built to handle common branch circuits, lighting, receptacles, and distributed loads across dual voltage needs in a single enclosure.
• GE engineering you can trust: Designed and manufactured by GE, this panel brings long-standing reputation for reliability, ease of maintenance, and consistent spare-part availability—key factors for service teams and panel builders.

Ideal use scenarios

• Panel upgrades in light-to-medium commercial buildings where a main breaker isn’t required or where space constraints favor a main-lug solution.
• Retrofit projects in industrial facilities updating feeder distribution to modern equipment while preserving existing buswork and enclosure layouts.
• Maintenance replacements and stocking spares for MRO teams, ensuring rapid service restoration on critical circuits.
• New installations in controlled environments needing robust, scalable 3-phase distribution with 120/240V availability.

Practical considerations and setup tips

• Verify enclosure fit and bus compatibility with your existing system layout to ensure a smooth retrofit.
• Plan feeder routing to optimize short, direct runs from the panel to minimize voltage drop on key circuits.
• Coordinate with local electrical codes and project requirements to confirm whether a main breaker is required in your installation scenario.
• Keep spares on hand for quick maintenance replacements to reduce downtime in critical applications.
