General Electrics FCN36TE060R2 - 60 A, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the General Electrics FCN36TE060R2—a 60A, 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to shield panelboards and load centers from overcurrent and short-circuit events. Built for dependable protection in real-world electrical systems, this unit pairs robust mechanical mounting with precise, predictable protection performance.

Why the FCN36TE060R2 stands out

• Secure bolt-on mounting delivers a rigid, vibration-resistant bond to the bus connection, helping maintain consistent electrical contact and reducing nuisance interruptions caused by movement or vibration.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection by reacting to both heat (overload) and magnetic surge conditions, giving fast, reliable tripping for short circuits and high-current transients.
• OEM-ready compatibility is designed to be paired with matching GE OEM load centers and panelboards, promoting proper fit, coordination, and streamlined replacement in existing installations.
• Three-pole, 60A design makes it ideal for three-phase residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where balanced protection and coordinated protection schemes are essential.

Ideal use cases

• Upgrading or replacing breakers in GE OEM panelboards and load centers to maintain system compatibility and reliability.
• Three-phase main or branch circuit protection in small to mid-size commercial spaces and light industrial equipment rooms.
• New installations where a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker is preferred for steady mounting and serviceability.
