General Electric FCN36TE020R1 20A 3-Pole 600 V Circuit Breaker

Meet the General Electric FCN36TE020R1 — a purpose-built circuit breaker crafted for demanding three‑phase power systems. This model brings precise protection to 600 V circuits with a 20 A capacity, making it an essential component for reliable electrical distribution in industrial and commercial settings.

• Model: FCN36TE020R1
• Current rating: 20 A
• Poles: 3
• Voltage rating: 600 V
• Configuration: 3‑pole circuit breaker for simultaneous phase disconnection in 3‑phase systems
• Application: Protects three‑phase motors, drives, feeders, and other equipment in environments up to 600 V

This 3‑pole design ensures that, in the event of an overcurrent or fault, all three phases trip together. That synchronized disconnection minimizes arcing and reduces the risk of damage to motors and connected equipment, enhancing safety and system integrity in your distribution panels.

Why choose this GE breaker? It pairs a precise 20 A protection level with a robust 3‑pole configuration, making it ideal for balanced three‑phase loads where each leg requires consistent protection. The FCN36TE020R1 model is a precise match for applications where dependable phase isolation and clear identification are crucial, such as in manufacturing lines, HVAC drives, and machining setups that operate off 600 V systems.

Practical use cases include protecting three‑phase motors up to 20 A per leg, safeguarding panel feeder circuits, and providing reliable overload protection for industrial equipment powered from 600 V supplies. When replacing worn or aging breakers in compatible GE installations, the FCN36TE020R1 offers a straightforward, field‑reliable option that aligns with GE’s standard design language and installation practices.

To ensure optimal performance, install this breaker in accordance with applicable electrical codes and GE installation guidelines. Confirm compatibility with your panel or distribution system, and follow proper wiring and termination procedures to maintain safe, dependable operation on every start‑up.
