General Electrics TFJ236200WL - 200 A, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the General Electrics TFJ236200WL — a 200 A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to safeguard panelboards and load centers from overcurrent and short circuits. Its compact footprint and precise thermal-magnetic trip behavior deliver dependable protection for three‑phase systems in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.

Key advantages

• Space-saving molded-case design: Narrow profile that fits efficiently in crowded panel spaces, leaving room for conductors and future expansion.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Delivers stable, repeatable protection by combining overcurrent (thermal) with instantaneous short-circuit (magnetic) responses, reducing nuisance trips and protecting equipment reliably.
• 3-pole for 3-phase protection: Specifically designed for three-phase distributions and equipment, ensuring synchronized tripping across all conductors.
• OEM load center compatibility: Built to match GE OEM load centers and panelboards for straightforward replacement and seamless integration with existing gear.
• Versatile for multiple sectors: A solid choice for residential subpanels, light commercial service panels, and small industrial machinery circuits.

Technical details

• Manufacturer: General Electrics
• Part number: TFJ236200WL
• Type: Thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker
• Amperage rating: 200 A
• Number of poles: 3
• Application: Branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers

Use cases and applications

• Three-phase feeders and equipment in light commercial and small industrial panels, including motors, compressors, and processing devices.
• Main feeders in 3‑phase systems up to 200 A, helping meet electrical code requirements for safe, reliable operation.
• Retrofit or replacement in GE panelboard ecosystems where a TFJ236200WL form factor is specified, ensuring compatibility and ease of service.

Why this breaker stands out

The TFJ236200WL is purpose-built for General Electric OEM panelboards and load centers, reducing compatibility headaches during maintenance or retrofit. Its molded-case construction withstands field wiring demands, while the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides accurate, temperature-resilient protection. This means fewer nuisance trips in hot, cramped panels and clearer protection for valuable electrical loads.

Installation and best practices

• Confirm that the receiving panelboard is rated for a 200 A, 3-pole device and that the installation aligns with GE OEM standards.
• Use proper torque on lugs and terminals and ensure conductors meet rating requirements for reliable performance.
• When replacing an existing breaker, verify line/load orientation and compatibility with the panel’s bus arrangement to maintain proper protection sequencing.

Upgrade your protection with the TFJ236200WL to secure three-phase circuits in panels and load centers, delivering precise, dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection where it matters most.
