General Electric | SKPA36AT2600C | Circuit Breaker | 36A | 3-Pole | 600V

General Electric SKPA36AT2600C is a rugged three-pole circuit breaker crafted for reliable overcurrent protection in demanding electrical environments. With a 36A rating and a 600V maximum, this GE component is purpose-built for maintenance, retrofit, and replacement in compatible panels and systems where precise protection matters.

Key specifications that matter in real-world setups

• Amperage: 36A — protects circuits and connected equipment from overcurrent, helping prevent wiring damage and equipment downtime.
• Poles: 3-Pole — ideal for three-phase power distribution found in commercial and industrial installations.
• Voltage rating: 600V — supports standard industrial and power distribution configurations used in larger facilities.
• Best reference for compatibility: The part number SKPA36AT2600C is the primary guide for fitment. Always confirm compatibility by matching this exact reference to your panel labeling and listing.
• Important note: Confirm fit and ratings before ordering to ensure seamless replacement or retrofit within your GE-compatible system.

Why this breaker matters for your system

When installed, the SKPA36AT2600C provides dependable protection for a 3-phase circuit, preventing damage from overloads and short circuits. Its 3-pole design ensures synchronized disconnection across all phases, preserving equipment safety and reducing the risk of unbalanced loads in motors, pumps, and compressors commonly found in commercial and light industrial settings.

Ideal use cases

• Replacements in GE-panel systems where a 36A, 3-pole, 600V protective device is specified.
• Retrofits to accommodate updated load profiles in aging installations without changing the panel architecture.
• Maintenance swaps to restore reliable circuit protection after a fault or wear in the original breaker.

Practical installation guidance

• Verify that your panel is listed to accept SKPA36AT2600C and that the trip characteristics align with your protection strategy.
• Cross-check the exact part number against your panel’s documentation—this is the most reliable way to guarantee a correct fit.
• Handle with standard safety precautions and ensure the main power is isolated before attempting replacement.

For those maintaining or upgrading GE electrical systems, the SKPA36AT2600C offers a straightforward, reliable path to restoring protected operation in three-phase circuits up to 600V. If your panel labeling calls for this exact part, it’s a precise, compatible choice that aligns with GE's engineering standards and your installation’s protection requirements.
