Why this breaker matters in your system

In a 3‑phase setup, a reliable bolt-on circuit breaker like the THED136040 not only protects wiring and equipment but also helps your system shut down safely during faults. It supports preventative maintenance programs by allowing quick swaps without reconfiguring bus connections, and it’s compatible with GE’s ecosystem of panels and accessories, helping you maintain a cohesive protection scheme.

Usage scenarios

• Upgrading older electrical panels in warehouses or manufacturing floors where a 3‑pole, 600V bolt-on device is required.
• Replacing failed breakers in service panels during routine maintenance in schools, office buildings, or healthcare facilities that use GE gear.
• Retrofits that expand or re-route 3‑phase circuits, motors, or HVAC equipment within GE-compatible panel racks.

Installation and safety notes

• Power must be fully de-energized before removal or installation of the breaker. Follow all site safety protocols and lockout/tagout procedures.
• Verify voltage, pole count, and panel compatibility against the THED136040 specification before purchasing or installing.
• Bolt-on mounting requires appropriate hardware and alignment with the panel’s bus bars. Tighten bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications listed in your panel documentation.
• After installation, perform a functional test to confirm proper trip operation and that the device clears faults as intended.
