General Electrics TFJ236100WL - 100 A, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The General Electrics TFJ236100WL is a dependable 100A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for protective reliability in panelboards and load centers. Engineered with a thermal-magnetic trip unit, this breaker delivers stable, repeatable protection against both overloads and short circuits, helping keep every branch circuit safer and more responsive to real-world electrical conditions.

Why this breaker stands out

• Compact molded case design maximizes panel space and simplifies installation, making it a solid choice for tight electrical environments.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides dual-layer protection—thermal for gradual overloads and magnetic for instantaneous response to short circuits—so you get consistent protection across varying loads.
• OEM compatibility—specifically designed to work with matching GE load centers and panelboards—ensuring proper fit, alignment, and electrical performance.
• Versatile application range suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical setups, making it an adaptable solution for many panel configurations.

How it protects your system

With a thermal-magnetic trip unit, this 3-pole breaker monitors current continuously and responds to abnormal conditions in real time. The thermal element handles sustained overloads, while the magnetic element delivers a fast, decisive trip when a fault or short circuit occurs. The result is a safer electrical distribution system that minimizes damage to wiring and equipment and helps protect downstream devices from overcurrent events.

Ideal use cases and installation considerations

• Perfect for upgrading or replacing aging or under-protected branch circuits in GE panelboards and load centers.
• Well-suited for 3-phase electrical systems in commercial and light industrial environments, as well as multi-wire residential installations where three-phase protection is required.
• Use in feeders and branch circuits where a reliable 100A, 3-pole protection device is needed to maintain safe operation and easy circuit management.
