GE THED136020 - 20 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

GE THED136020 is a 20A, 600V, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker designed to protect branch circuits in panelboards and load centers. Built for dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection, this device is a practical choice for residential, commercial, and light industrial panels where reliable, coordinated trip behavior is essential.

Why this 3-pole molded-case breaker stands out

• Compact molded-case design maximizes panel space, making it easier to fit alongside other breakers and components.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection by responding to both overloads and short circuits, reducing nuisance trips while safeguarding connected equipment.
• Three-pole operation ensures synchronized tripping across all phases, which is critical for balanced three-phase circuits and motor loads.
• 600V rating provides flexibility for higher-voltage panel installations commonly found in commercial settings.
• 20A rating is ideal for branch circuits feeding lighting, outlets, and small equipment in multi-pole configurations.
• OEM compatibility engineered to fit GE OEM load centers and panelboards for straightforward replacement and reliable performance.

Use cases and compatibility

This breaker is designed to protect branch circuits within GE panelboards and load centers, making it a natural fit for three-phase distributions in light commercial environments and specialty residential setups that require robust three-pole protection. If your panel is an OEM GE load center or a matched GE-compatible panelboard, THED136020 slides into place for seamless operation and consistent protection across all three phases.

Why choose GE THED136020 over alternatives

• Exact fit and tested reliability within GE and matched OEM panels, minimizing compatibility concerns during replacement or upgrades.
• Coordinated thermal-magnetic protection provides predictable trip behavior, helping protect downstream equipment such as motors and control circuits.
• Designed for space-efficient installations without sacrificing performance, making it well-suited for crowded electrical panels.

Practical installation tips

• Verify that your panelboard or load center is rated for 600V and supports three-pole molded-case breakers of this frame style.
• Ensure you are using a replacement part that matches the GE OEM spec to maintain proper bus connection and trip coordination.
• Label the circuit clearly after installation and perform a standard functional check to confirm proper tripping under simulated fault conditions.
• Store and handle the breaker carefully to preserve the integrity of the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism during installation.
