GE SKDA36AN1000 - 1000 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

GE SKDA36AN1000 is a 3‑pole bolt‑on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short‑circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. With a robust 1000A rating and a 600V capacity, this unit is built to handle demanding electrical environments while maintaining precise protection performance.

• Secure bolt-on mounting: provides a rigid, vibration‑resistant bus connection that stays tight in busy electrical rooms and near equipment that generates vibration, ensuring reliable long‑term performance.
• Thermal‑magnetic trip unit: combines thermal overload protection with instantaneous magnetic tripping for fast fault responses, delivering stable, repeatable protection across varying loads and temperatures.
• 3‑pole design for 3‑phase circuits: ideal for protecting large motors, transformers, and three‑phase feeders common in commercial and light industrial applications.
• OEM‑grade compatibility: engineered to pair with matching GE SKDA series load centers and panelboards, simplifying replacement and minimizing compatibility concerns during upgrades or servicing.
• Versatile residential, commercial, and light industrial use: suitable wherever reliable high‑current protection is needed—from multi‑family dwellings’ service equipment to small manufacturing or HVAC installations.
