General Electrics TKMA836700WL - 700 A, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the General Electric TKMA836700WL — a 700A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker built for dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Designed for demanding environments, it combines a compact form with powerful protection to keep systems safe and running smooth.

• 700A, 3-pole configuration handles three-phase power with a single device, simplifying large-panel installations and main feeder protection.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection by responding to both overloads (thermal) and short circuits (magnetic), reducing nuisance trips across varying temperatures and loads.
• Compact molded-case design optimizes panel space, making it easier to fit high-capacity protection without crowding busbars or neighboring breakers.
• OEM-compatible fit ensures seamless compatibility with matching GE OEM load centers and panelboards, enabling straightforward upgrades or replacements.
• Versatile across applications suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems that demand robust main or feeder protection.

Why this matters in real-world setups:

• Main protection for large feeders Use the TKMA836700WL as the primary defense for three-phase distribution to subpanels, machine rooms, or large equipment clusters where a 700A rating is required.
• Consistent protection in variable environments The thermal element adapts to ambient changes, while the magnetic trip responds instantly to short-circuit conditions, helping prevent extensive damage and downtime.
• Space-efficient integration Its molded-case architecture saves panel real estate, leaving room for future expansions or additional circuits without compromising safety margins.
• Ease of maintenance and replacement By aligning with GE’s load centers and panelboards, it streamlines sourcing, ordering, and field replacement — minimizing downtime during service events.
