The General Electric FCS36TE080R circuit breaker is a robust three‑pole protective device designed for demanding three‑phase electrical systems. With an 80A rating and a 600V maximum, this unit delivers reliable overcurrent protection for GE panels and switchgear in maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects where exact specifications matter.

• Amperage: 80 A
• Poles: 3‑Pole
• Voltage rating: 600 V
• Compatibility reference: Best compatibility is confirmed using the part number FCS36TE080R
• Optimal use cases: Maintenance replacements, panel retrofits, and new installations that require a GE‑matched, 3‑phase protection solution

Why choose the FCS36TE080R? This unit is purpose‑built as a direct‑fit replacement for GE systems that specify the FCS36TE080R family. By matching exact amperage, pole configuration, and voltage, it minimizes setup changes, reduces downtime, and helps ensure reliable protection for critical loads in commercial and industrial environments. It’s especially well suited for protecting feeders and three‑phase equipment in panel boards where precise GE compatibility is essential.

What problems does it solve? When aging or failed breakers threaten system reliability, this model provides a straightforward, compatible upgrade path that preserves the original protection scheme. It supports safe operation of three‑phase circuits up to 600V, helping prevent damage from overcurrents and enabling quick restoration of service after trips.

Who is this for? Electrical professionals, facilities managers, and industrial maintenance teams responsible for GE electrical installations, panel replacements, or retrofit projects that require exact part compatibility and dependable 80A, 3‑pole, 600V protection.

Practical tips for use:

• Always verify the panel labeling and system ratings before ordering to confirm the FCS36TE080R is the correct fit.
• Use the part number FCS36TE080R as the primary reference for compatibility during procurement and maintenance records.
• Before installation, de‑energize the panel and follow all safety practices for working with electrical equipment.
• Match the breaker’s three‑pole configuration to your panel’s bus structure to ensure proper seating and reliable trip control.
• Keep a spare GE replacement part on hand for expedited maintenance and minimal downtime.
