General Electrics TFC36225 - 225 A, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the General Electrics TFC36225, a 225 A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker built for dependable branch circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. This device combines space-efficient design with precise protection, making it a solid choice for demanding electrical setups where reliability matters.

Why this MCCB stands out

• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection by automatically coordinating thermal and magnetic responses to fault conditions. Whether you’re dealing with steady loads or a sudden short, you’ll get fast, predictable interruption when it’s needed.
• Compact molded case design maximizes the usable space inside panels, leaving room for additional circuits without expanding the enclosure footprint.
• 3-pole configuration supports 3-phase systems, providing synchronized protection across all phases of your distribution network.
• OEM-compatible design ensures seamless compatibility with matching General Electric load centers and panelboards, simplifying replacement and upgrade projects.
• High-current reliability at 225 A makes it suitable for larger branch circuits in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications, reducing the need for multiple smaller breakers and streamlining panel layouts.

Ideal applications and use cases

• New installations in residential multi-family or commercial buildings where space efficiency and robust protection are essential.
• Upgrading aging panels or retrofit projects where a reliable, high-amp MCCB is required to protect feeder circuits and critical loads.
• Loadcenter or panelboard retrofits that demand OEM-compatible breakers to maintain warranty and performance integrity.
• Systems that experience a mix of steady load and occasional fault conditions, benefiting from precise thermal-magnetic trip characteristics.

What you gain with the TFC36225

Beyond simply stopping fault currents, this 225 A, 3-pole MCCB helps you design safer, more maintainable electrical systems.
