Key specs

• Amperage: 50A
• Poles: 3-Pole
• Voltage rating: 600V
• Mounting style: Bolt-On
• Part number: FCN36TE050R2
• Typical use: Maintenance, retrofit, replacement in compatible GE panels

Why choose this GE circuit breaker

Unlike generic replacements, this FCN36TE050R2 is purpose-built to fit GE panel configurations that expect bolt-on, 3-pole protection for 3-phase circuits. The 50A rating makes it suitable for motor circuits, heavy lighting, and other demanding loads without overtaxing the panel. Bolt-on mounting provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection ideal for installations in challenging environments where reliability matters most.

Practical use cases

• Three-phase motor protection in commercial or light-industrial equipment (up to 50A).
• Retrofit projects upgrading older GE panels to meet current safety standards.
• Emergency replacement to minimize downtime when a breaker fails or reaches end-of-life.
• Panel expansion where additional protection is required for parallel or associated circuits.

Installation and compatibility tips

Before ordering, confirm fit and ratings are compatible with your panel and wiring. This bolt-on breaker is designed for GE panel lines that accept FCN-series 3-pole devices. Verify conductor sizes, enclosure clearance, and bus bar configuration to ensure a straightforward replacement or retrofit. If you’re upgrading from a lower amperage device, plan for wiring and protection coordination to align with downstream protection and motor starting characteristics.

What to expect

With the FCN36TE050R2, you gain a trusted GE component that provides dependable overcurrent protection for 3-phase circuits at 600V. Its bolt-on design simplifies field installation and replacement, reducing downtime and ensuring continued safety for your electrical system.
