What makes this breaker stand out

Designed to protect high-voltage commercial circuits, the FBN16TE080R2 pairs a robust mechanical design with a precise thermal-magnetic trip mechanism. It reacts quickly to overloads and faults on a single hot conductor, helping to safeguard wiring, appliances, and equipment connected to 347 V distribution panels. Its compact, one-pole form-factor is ideal for streamlined panel layouts where space is at a premium, while still delivering dependable performance in fluctuating temperatures and real-world conditions.

Ideal use cases

• Protecting a dedicated high-voltage feeder or branch circuit within commercial/building distribution systems that operate at 347 V.
• Providing reliable overcurrent protection for lighting, control, or small power circuits fed from a 347 V panel.
• Retrofit scenarios where a single hot-line protection device is required in GE-based distribution panels.

Practical installation and benefits

Compatible with GE panels designed for FBN-series breakers, this unit offers straightforward installation for technicians familiar with high-voltage commercial breakers. The 1-pole, 80 A configuration helps simplify wiring and panel organization while delivering targeted protection exactly where it’s needed. By interrupting fault current promptly, it reduces stress on downstream conductors and equipment, potentially extending the life of motors, lighting circuits, and other high-load components.

Tips for maximum effectiveness

• Verify panel compatibility with FBN-series breakers before installation to ensure proper fit and trip characteristics.
• Use in circuits where a single hot leg needs protection at up to 347 V to prevent overcurrent damage.
• Regularly inspect connections and ensure torque meets your panel’s installation guidelines to maintain reliable operation.

Choose the General Electric FBN16TE080R2 80A 1-Pole 347 V Circuit Breaker for precise, reliable protection of high-voltage commercial circuits. Its dedicated 80-amp, single-pole design is tailored to keep critical 347 V systems safe, efficient, and resilient.
