General Electric | FBH16TE040RV | Circuit Breaker | 40A | 1-Pole | 600V

The General Electric FBH16TE040RV circuit breaker is a precise, reliable solution for protecting single‑phase circuits in compatible GE panels and installations. With a 40A rating and a 1‑pole design, this unit provides targeted overcurrent protection for systems up to 600V, making it a practical choice for a wide range of maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects.

• Amperage: 40A — delivers controlled interruption to safeguard circuits from overloads and electrical faults.
• Poles: 1‑Pole — designed for single‑phase circuits commonly found in GE panels and compatible electrical systems.
• Voltage rating: 600V — suitable for industrial and commercial environments where higher voltage distribution is present.
• Compatibility reference: Part number FBH16TE040RV is the best reference for matching the exact specs and fit. Always confirm the panel’s requirements and ratings before ordering.

Why this GE circuit breaker stands out

When you’re maintaining or upgrading electrical infrastructure, exact part matching matters. The FBH16TE040RV is a genuine General Electric component designed to integrate smoothly with GE panels and systems that require a 40A, 1‑pole, 600V breaker. Relying on the correct part number helps preserve panel labeling, warranty coverage, and electrical safety, reducing the risk of incompatibility and nuisance trips.

Ideal use cases

Perfect for:

• Replacing a failed or deactivated 1‑pole 40A breaker in GE‑configured panels.
• Retrofits where maintaining original GE specifications is essential for code compliance and system integrity.
• Maintenance scenarios that require a ready‑to‑ship, GE‑listed component to minimize downtime on 600V circuits.

Practical installation and care tips

Before ordering, verify fit and ratings on the panel label and within the equipment documentation. During installation, follow standard electrical safety practices: disconnect power, inspect lugs and mounting integrity, and secure the breaker per manufacturer guidelines. Using the exact part number FBH16TE040RV helps ensure proper mechanical fit and reliable electrical performance over the life of the installation.
