Offering superior short-circuit protection, the GE FBN36TE040RV is a 40A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. It belongs to the Record Plus series, bringing modern thermal-magnetic trip technology to industrial power systems. This bolt-on breaker mounts into GE Type AD and A-Series panelboards. Facility managers can also use it to replace the discontinued TED134040, upgrading their panel's overall interrupting rating. It boasts a 150 kAIC rating at 240V and includes a trip-free mechanism.
