General Electrics TEC36150 - 150 A, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

General Electrics TEC36150 is a 150A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to protect branch circuits in panelboards and load centers. Its compact form and robust thermal-magnetic trip unit deliver dependable protection for three-phase systems across residential, commercial, and light industrial environments.

Key advantages that set the TEC36150 apart

• Compact molded case design maximizes panel space and simplifies installation in tight electrical rooms or crowded load centers.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable thermal overload protection paired with instantaneous magnetic short-circuit protection for fast, predictable trips.
• Three-pole, 150A rating ideal for protecting three-phase feeders and branch circuits that drive motors and other equipment in commercial and light industrial settings.
• OEM panel compatibility engineered to integrate smoothly with GE OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring a reliable retrofit or replacement path.
• Versatile application suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial installations where robust 3-phase protection is required.

What it does for you

The TEC36150 acts as the critical safety device that interrupts fault currents to shield conductors, devices, and wiring from damage due to overloads or short circuits. With its thermal-magnetic design, you can expect consistent, repeatable protection characteristics across varying loads and temperatures, reducing nuisance trips while maintaining rapid fault clearing when needed.

Ideal use scenarios

• Protect 3-phase feeders supplying motors, HVAC equipment, and other heavy loads in small to mid-size commercial spaces.
• Use as a main or feeder protection device in GE panelboards and load centers that require a 150A, 3-pole MCCB solution.
• Install in residential-light industrial applications where reliable 3-phase protection is essential for safety and equipment longevity.

Installation and compatibility tips

Choose the TEC36150 when you need a dependable 150A, 3-pole molded case breaker designed for GE panel systems. Confirm that your panelboard or load center specifies a GE OEM-compatible breaker to ensure seamless operation and consistent trip performance. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for torque, bus alignment, and enclosure clearance to maintain proper protection and ease of maintenance.
