General Electrics FBN16TE025RV - 25 A, 1-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the General Electrics FBN16TE025RV—a precise 25 A, 1-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to safeguard branch circuits in panelboards and load centers. Built for durability, this unit’s secure bolt-on mounting delivers a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection, maintaining reliable performance even in bustling electrical environments.

At the heart of its protection is a thermal-magnetic trip unit. The thermal element handles gradual overloads with repeatable, predictable trips, while the magnetic element provides a fast response to high short-circuit currents. The result is consistent protection where it matters most—protecting wiring, reducing nuisance trips, and preserving sensitive equipment.

The FBN16TE025RV is designed for seamless compatibility with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, giving you a dependable upgrade path for GE and GE-series installations. Whether you’re working on residential panel upgrades, commercial panelboard replacements, or light industrial circuits, this breaker fits into standard GE-style hardware without hassle.

Why this breaker is the right choice

• Rigid bolt-on mounting: A secure connection minimizes movement and arcing, promoting long-term reliability in vibrating or high-traffic environments.
• Thermal-magnetic stability: Precise overload protection paired with fast short-circuit clearing helps protect both wiring and connected equipment.
• OEM compatibility: Specifically designed to work with matching GE load centers and panelboards for a trouble-free replacement or upgrade.
• Versatile applications: Ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems requiring dependable 25 A branch-circuit protection.

Typical use cases

• Replacing a failed breaker in a GE panelboard or an OEM-compatible load center.
• Upgrading a branch circuit to ensure reliable protection for lighting, receptacle circuits, or small machinery feeders.
• Integrating into service entrances or subpanels where a sturdy bolt-on, single-pole solution is preferred.

How it protects your system

The combined thermal-magnetic design delivers two layers of defense. The thermal element limits damage from sustained overloads by bending the trip characteristic to the circuit’s actual heating condition. The magnetic element detects severe faults, tripping quickly to interrupt fault currents and prevent damage to conductors and devices.
