Supplied with TCAL43 line and load lugs, the THJK436400WL is a 400A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from GE's J600 line. It is built to handle heavy-duty industrial electrical loads. This unit-mount MCCB is compatible with GE A-Series panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. While eventually replaced by the Tmax XT5 series, it remains a seamless fit for existing J-Frame infrastructure. It features an interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit and delivers 35 kAIC at 480VAC.

Product FAQs
5 answers
Which panelboards and enclosures are compatible with the THJK436400WL?
This J-frame breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series panelboards, GE switchboards, GE motor control centers, and GE J600 enclosures. Verify specific bus and mounting hardware requirements for your application.
What does the WL suffix in the THJK436400WL catalog number indicate?
The WL suffix indicates that the breaker is supplied with factory-installed line and load lugs. These lugs accept either one 6 AWG to 600 kcmil conductor or two 2/0 AWG to 250 kcmil conductors per phase.
How is the trip unit configured on this TJK frame breaker?
It features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal protection for long-time overloads and an adjustable magnetic dial for instantaneous short-circuit protection. This allows electricians to fine-tune the instantaneous trip threshold to coordinate with downstream devices.
Why is this breaker listed under both ABB and General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. The THJK436400WL is part of the legacy GE J-frame molded case circuit breaker line. New production units may carry ABB branding while maintaining exact form, fit, and function.
Are the factory lugs rated for both copper and aluminum conductors?
Yes, the included lugs are dual-rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) wire. Ensure proper application of oxide-inhibiting joint compound when terminating aluminum conductors.
