GE SGLC3601L4XX - 400 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

GE SGLC3601L4XX is a robust 400A, 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 to handle demanding electrical environments, this unit combines sturdy bolt-on mounting with a precise thermal-magnetic trip mechanism for consistent protection across varying loads and temperatures.

Why this breaker stands out

• Secure bolt-on mounting provides a rigid, vibration-resistant connection to the bus, reducing movement and ensuring reliable performance in challenging installations.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection by combining long-time thermal protection with an instantaneous magnetic trip for severe faults.
• 3-pole design is ideal for three-phase systems, delivering coordinated protection across all phases and helping prevent imbalanced faults in commercial or light industrial setups.
• 400A, 600V rating aligns with high-capacity distribution needs, supporting large branch circuits while maintaining precise protection characteristics.
• OEM compatibility is designed to fit matching GE load centers and panelboards, ensuring a seamless fit and reliable electrical performance.

What it protects and how it helps

This GE molded case circuit breaker protects individual branch circuits from overcurrent and short-circuit events, safeguarding wiring, equipment, and connected loads. The thermal-magnetic trip helps prevent nuisance trips from minor heat variations, while still delivering rapid response to true short circuits. In residential, commercial, and light industrial environments, it acts as a reliable line of defense for feeders, motors, HVAC circuits, and other critical loads.

Compatibility and installation considerations

The SGLC3601L4XX is intended for use with GE OEM panelboards and loadcenters that support bolt-on, molded case breakers. Its 3-pole configuration is suitable for 3-phase distribution, and the 600V maximum voltage rating provides flexibility for a range of electrical systems. When planning a replacement or upgrade, verify that your panelboard supports bolt-on breakers of this amperage and voltage rating to ensure proper fit, labeling, and protective performance.

Ideal for

• Electrical contractors and facility managers performing panel upgrades or replacements
• Commercial spaces with three-phase distribution needs
• Residential-light industrial applications requiring high-current branch circuit protection
• Maintenance teams seeking OEM-aligned protection with predictable trip behavior

Practical notes and optimization tips

• Use when you need reliable coordination across three phases to prevent phase imbalances and protect interconnected equipment.
• Choose this unit when panel compatibility with GE OEM systems is a priority for consistent fit and electrical characteristics.
• Plan installations with attention to bus connections and mounting integrity to maximize the effectiveness of the bolt-on design in vibration-prone environments.
