GE SKPP36CD0800 - 800 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

GE SKPP36CD0800 is a heavy‑duty 800A, 600V, 3‑pole bolt‑on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver reliable branch circuit overcurrent and short‑circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. Built for environments that demand dependable, stable protection, this unit is a practical choice for commercial and light industrial applications, as well as demanding residential panels that require robust protection across multiple phases.

Key benefits and why it matters

• Secure bolt‑on mounting provides a rigid, vibration‑resistant bus connection, reducing movement that can lead to marginal contacts and heat buildup over time.
• Thermal‑magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection by responding to both gradual overloads (thermal) and instantaneous short‑circuit events (magnetic), helping prevent nuisance trips and equipment damage.
• 3‑pole design ensures synchronized protection across all three phases, which is essential for balanced loading of motors, compressors, and other three‑phase equipment.
• 600V rating makes it suitable for commercial power distribution and light industrial circuits, providing versatility in panelboard and loadcenter installations.
• OE panel compatibility and a geared design for use with GE‑matched OEM loadcenters and panelboards help streamline replacement and maintenance, reducing fitment risk.
