General Electrics FBN16TE035RV - 35 A, 1-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

General Electrics FBN16TE035RV delivers reliable 35A, 1-pole protection in a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. Built for durability, this device anchors a rigid bus connection with a secure bolt-on mounting that resists vibration and keeps critical wiring firmly in place through years of operation. Key features that set this breaker apart

• Secure bolt-on mounting for a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection that maintains consistent electrical contact even in demanding environments.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection by responding accurately to both sustained overloads and instantaneous short circuits.
• 35A, 1-pole configuration ideal for protecting individual branch circuits within residential, commercial, and light industrial installations.
• Molded case design designed for long service life in panelboards and loadcenters, with components chosen for dependable performance over time.
• OEM compatibility engineered to work with matching General Electric OEM loadcenters and panelboards for seamless integration.

Who this is for and practical use cases

Whether you’re upgrading an older panel or installing a new, compact protection solution, the FBN16TE035RV is built to handle common branch circuit needs with precision. It’s well suited for:

• Residential panels where a dedicated 35A branch circuit needs reliable protection against overcurrent and short circuits.
• Commercial spaces with moderate load distribution requiring solid, repeatable trip performance.
• Light industrial applications where vibration resistance and durable mounting help maintain consistent protection in busy environments.

Why this bolt-on breaker matters in real-world scenarios

From a technician’s perspective, the bolt-on design isn’t just a mounting preference—it’s a practical guarantee of a stable electrical connection in panels that experience movement or vibration. The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides two-layer protection: the thermal element curbs slow-accumulating heat, while the magnetic element immediately interrupts in the event of a short circuit. That combination helps reduce nuisance trips and protects wiring, devices, and equipment downstream.
