General Electrics SGHH36AT0600 - 600 A, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the demanding protection needs of large electrical systems with the General Electrics SGHH36AT0600. This 600A, 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker is built to safeguard panelboards and load centers from overcurrent and short-circuit events, delivering reliable protection where it matters most—commercial spaces, light industrial environments, and even demanding residential installations.

Why this breaker stands out

• Secure bolt-on mounting: provides a rigid, vibration-resistant connection to the bus, reducing the risk of loose contacts and contact wear in equipment that experiences movement or mechanical vibration.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: combines stable thermal protection for overloads with instantaneous magnetic trip for short circuits, delivering repeatable performance across temperature variations and fault conditions.
• Direct compatibility with GE panels: designed to work with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring a dependable fit and streamlined installation without aftermarket guesswork.
• Durable molded case construction: rugged insulation and arc-quenching properties protect both the device and the surrounding equipment in demanding environments.

Ideal applications and use cases

• Main or feeder protection in commercial panelboards and light-industrial electrical rooms where large-draw equipment (pumps, HVAC units, compressors) are fed from 3-phase circuits.
• Replacement or upgrade for existing 3-pole breakers in GE-compatible panels requiring a 600A rating, ensuring continuity of protection for critical circuits.
• Situations demanding solid mechanical stability, such as equipment enclosures with high vibration or frequent load fluctuations, where a bolt-on breaker reduces maintenance concerns.
