GE THED136030 - 30 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Introducing GE THED136030 — a 30A, 600V, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver reliable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. Built for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications, this breaker balances compact design with robust performance to help you protect complex electrical systems without compromising space.

Why this breaker stands out

• Space-efficient molded-case design: A compact footprint that preserves panel real estate, making it easier to fit additional circuits while maintaining accessible, organized protection in your distribution panel.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines thermal protection for gradual overloads with an instantaneous magnetic trip for severe faults, delivering stable, repeatable protection across a range of temperatures and loads.
• OEM-compatible reliability: Engineered to be compatible with GE OEM loadcenters and panelboards, providing seamless replacement or upgrade paths with consistent performance and wiring compatibility.
• Three-pole configuration: Ensures simultaneous disconnection of all three conductors in 3-phase or multi-wire circuits, enhancing safety, coordination, and fault clearance in larger installations.
