Product FAQs
7 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the FBH26TE030RV breaker?
This Record Plus FB100 frame breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series panelboards (specifically Type AD) and GE Record Plus panelboards. It utilizes a bolt-on connection for secure installation.
What are the acceptable wire sizes and materials for the lugs on this breaker?
The factory-installed lugs accept 14 to 2 AWG copper (Cu) wire or 12 to 2 AWG aluminum (Al) wire. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation as outlined by the manufacturer.
Why might this breaker arrive with either ABB or General Electric branding?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. As a result, Record Plus series breakers like the FBH26TE030RV may feature either GE or ABB branding, but they are the exact same component and fully interchangeable.
What does the H signify in the FBH26TE030RV catalog number?
In the GE Record Plus FB100 frame nomenclature, the H indicates a high interrupting capacity tier. This specific model provides up to 100kAIC at 480VAC and 200kAIC at 240VAC.
Is the trip unit on the FBH26TE030RV adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Does this breaker mount onto a standard DIN rail?
No, the FBH26TE030RV is a unit mount, bolt-on circuit breaker. It is designed to be bolted directly to the busbar or mounting pan of compatible panelboards, rather than snapping onto a DIN rail.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?
The LI designation stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous protection. The long-time function protects the circuit against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function provides immediate tripping during severe short circuits.
