GE THED136040 - 40A, 3-Pole, Circuit Breaker

Designed by GE for robust, three-phase protection, the GE THED136040 40A, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker is built to guard feeders, motors, and distribution panels in demanding environments. With a 40A rating and three-pole configuration, it ensures reliable disconnection of all live lines, reducing fault energy and protecting downstream equipment in panelboards, switchboards, and control panels.

• Three-pole protection: Exact simultaneous disconnection of all three phases during a fault, delivering safer shutdown and reducing damage to wiring and devices.
• 40A current rating: Appropriately sized for motor starters, feeders, and branch circuits in industrial and commercial setups, balancing protection and continuity.
• Versatile integration: Compatible with standard GE distribution and motor-control panel architectures, including panelboards, switchboards, and control panels.
• Rugged build for harsh environments: Engineered to withstand vibration, temperature swings, and the rigors of OEM applications.
• OEM-friendly and serviceable: Designed to integrate into existing GE-based systems with predictable trip characteristics, simplifying maintenance and stocking.

In practice, this 40A, 3-Pole circuit breaker helps prevent costly downtime by quickly interrupting fault currents and protecting wiring, contacts, and motors during overloads or short circuits. It streamlines panel design by matching standard GE trip characteristics and mounting geometry, helping technicians stock fewer parts and perform faster service in the field.

Ideal use scenarios:

• New installations in industrial facilities requiring reliable three-phase protection for motors, pumps, conveyors, and processing lines.
• Retrofits in existing GE-equipped panels to restore coordinated protection after component wear.
• OEM equipment where a compact, dependable overcurrent device keeps systems safe during startup and operation.

Compatibility and installation considerations: The THED136040 is tailored to GE panelboard and control-panel ecosystems. Verify mounting geometry and electrical coordination with your system design and panel rating to ensure a smooth fit and consistent protection across the installation.
