General Electric FCN36TE080R1 80A 3-Pole 600 V Circuit Breaker

The General Electric FCN36TE080R1 circuit breaker is built for dependable protection in three-phase, 600 V electrical systems. With an 80 A current rating across 3 poles, this GE breaker provides precise, coordinated interruption to keep motors, feeders, and distribution panels safe from overloads and faults.

• Part number: FCN36TE080R1
• Current rating: 80 A
• Poles: 3
• Voltage rating: 600 V
• Configuration: Three-pole design for synchronized protection across all phases
• Protection type: Overload and short-circuit protection for three-phase circuits

Why this matters for your systems

• Three-pole protection ensures all active phases disconnect together during fault conditions, reducing the risk of equipment damage and arcing in motors, pumps, and conveyors.
• Designed to integrate with GE panels and distribution setups, the FCN36TE080R1 simplifies replacement and service workflows, helping you maintain consistent protection across your installation.
• The 80 A rating provides a precise balance between protection and operational efficiency for mid-range three-phase loads in commercial and light industrial environments.

Ideal use cases

• Protecting feeders and motor circuits in industrial equipment and manufacturing lines powered by 600 V systems.
• Serving as a main or branch protection device in GE-compatible electrical panels within commercial facilities.
• Providing reliable disconnect capability for three-phase electrical distributions where stable, predictable trip behavior is essential.

Practical guidance for selecting and using

• Match your system’s measured current and future load growth to the 80 A rating to ensure appropriate protection without nuisance trips.
• Confirm compatibility with your GE panel housing and mounting requirements to streamline installation and service overhead.
• Use as part of a coordinated protection strategy in three-phase networks to maintain balanced phasing and safe shutdown procedures.
