Product FAQs

6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the FBN36TE040RV circuit breaker?

This bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in GE Type AD and GE A-Series panelboards.

Does the FBN36TE040RV include line and load lugs?

This breaker is designed for bolt-on panel connections on the line side and includes standard mechanical lugs on the load side that accept 10 to 4 AWG copper or aluminum wire.

What does the "N" in the FBN prefix indicate for this Record Plus breaker?

In the GE Record Plus nomenclature, the "N" designates a normal interrupting capacity, which provides a 65kAIC rating at 480VAC.

What type of protection does the LI trip unit provide on this breaker?

The fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (L) protection against sustained overloads and Instantaneous (I) protection against short circuits. The trip thresholds are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.

Why might this breaker arrive with either ABB or GE branding?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Depending on the manufacturing date, this FB100 frame breaker may feature either ABB or General Electric branding, but the physical dimensions, fit, and technical specifications remain identical.

Can the FBN36TE040RV replace older GE TED series circuit breakers?

Yes, this Record Plus breaker can be used to replace the discontinued TED134040 in compatible panels, often providing an upgraded interrupting capacity.
