General Electric FGN36KA0250R2 250A 3-Pole Circuit Breaker

Meet the General Electric FGN36KA0250R2, a purpose-built 250A, 3-pole circuit breaker engineered for demanding commercial and industrial electrical systems. As part of GE’s trusted FGN family, this unit delivers reliable, synchronized overcurrent protection across all three phases, guarding large loads and critical equipment from damage due to faults or overloads.

Why this 3-Pole, 250A GE circuit breaker stands out

• High-capacity protection with a 250 amp current rating, ideal for main service entries, feeders, or heavy three-phase circuits in commercial facilities and industrial environments.
• Three-phase reliability designed to trip all three phases together, preserving system balance, preventing phase loss scenarios, and protecting motors, drives, and large equipment from partial faults.
• Precise, durable construction built to withstand the rigors of busy electrical rooms, with robust internal mechanism under the FGN line that emphasizes consistent performance over time.
• Part number clarity FGN36KA0250R2 identifies a specific GE configuration, ensuring you receive the exact compatibility and fit for GE panels that support the FGN series.

Ideal use cases

• Main service entry or feeder protection for commercial buildings, data centers, and light industrial facilities that operate on a 3-phase distribution system.
• Motor control circuits and heavy electrical loads where balanced protection across all phases is critical to prevent damage from voltage sags, faults, or overloads.
• Replacement or upgrade scenarios in GE-compatible panels where a 250A, 3-pole solution is required to support existing equipment and future expansion.

What to consider for optimal installation

Ensure your panel is designed to accept GE FGN-series breakers and that the four-wire, three-phase configuration matches the system requirements. This breaker is intended for professional installation by a qualified electrician, who will verify correct bus bar fit, torque specifications, and alignment with your panel’s electrical rating and safety standards.

Practical tips for longevity and performance

• Match the breaker’s rating to the downstream load to avoid nuisance trips while still protecting assets.
• Keep the panel area clean and dry, and perform routine inspections to confirm there are no loose connections or signs of overheating near the breaker.
• Document the part number (FGN36KA0250R2) and keep it with your panel log for future maintenance or replacement needs.
