General Electric FBN36TE020R2 - 600 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

General Electric FBN36TE020R2 — a 600 V, 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker engineered for dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers.

• Secure bolt-on mounting: provides a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection to reduce micro-arcing and maintain consistent electrical contact in demanding installations.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: delivers stable, repeatable protection by reacting to overload (thermal) and short-circuit (magnetic) events, minimizing nuisance trips while safeguarding connected equipment.
• OEM-ready compatibility: designed to pair with matching GE OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring a seamless replacement or upgrade without sacrificing fit or protection.
• Versatile across applications: suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial environments where reliable 3-pole protection is needed.

Why this breaker matters

The FBN36TE020R2 combines rugged bolt-on construction with a precise thermal-magnetic protection scheme, so you’re not just buying a part—you’re investing in a safeguard for your electrical system. The 600 V rating supports higher voltage circuits, while the 3-pole design covers three-phase configurations where required, delivering coordinated protection across all phases.
