General Electrics FCN36TE100R2 - 100 A, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the General Electrics FCN36TE100R2 — a 100 A, 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for panelboards and load centers. Ideal for electricians and project leads tackling residential, commercial, or light industrial distributions, this unit combines robust mechanical design with precise protective performance.

• 100 A, 3-pole bolt-on design — delivers a secure, vibration-resistant bus connection that stays tight through years of operation in busy electrical rooms.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit — provides stable, repeatable protection: the thermal element handles gradual overloads while the magnetic element provides instantaneous trip on short circuits, helping prevent equipment damage and downtime.
• Bolt-on mounting — engineered for a rigid mechanical bond to enclosure walls and bus bars, simplifying installation, upgrades, and future servicing.
• OEM compatibility — specifically designed to integrate with matching General Electrics OEM load centers and panelboards for a clean, coordinated protection strategy.
• Versatile applications — suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial circuits, protecting branch circuits and feeders across a range of installations.
