Product FAQs
7 answersWhat panels and enclosures are compatible with the FCN36TE040R?
This breaker is designed for use in GE switchboards, motor control centers, and individual enclosures. It can also be installed in GE Spectra panelboards when used with the appropriate retrofit kit.
Can the FCN36TE040R be used in DC voltage applications?
Yes, this Record Plus breaker is rated for DC applications up to 500VDC. It provides an interrupting capacity of 40kA at both 250VDC and 500VDC.
Is this breaker branded as ABB or General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, so this Record Plus FC-frame breaker may be branded as either ABB or General Electric depending on the manufacturing date. Both brands represent the exact same FCN36TE040R component.
What does the N in the FCN36TE040R part number signify?
In the GE Record Plus FC-frame series, the N designates a high interrupting capacity tier. This provides a 65kA rating at 480VAC and 100kA at 240VAC, which is higher than standard-tier models.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on this breaker?
No, the FCN36TE040R features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions are factory-set and cannot be field-adjusted.
What frame size is the FCN36TE040R?
This breaker belongs to the GE Record Plus FC frame, which has a maximum amperage rating of 100A. The FCN36TE040R is specifically configured with a 40A trip unit.
What safety precautions are required before installing this MCCB?
Always de-energize the switchboard or enclosure before installation. Verify that the system voltage and available fault current do not exceed the breaker maximum ratings of 600VAC or 500VDC to ensure safe fault interruption.
