Product FAQs
7 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the FBH36TE070RV circuit breaker?
The RV suffix in the catalog number indicates this breaker includes load lugs and line connections specifically designed for General Electric A-Series Type AD panelboards. It is also compatible with GE Record Plus panelboards.
Can I install internal accessories in the FBH36TE070RV breaker?
Yes, the FB100 frame supports common internal accessories that are UL listed for field installation. This includes auxiliary switches, undervoltage releases, shunt trips, and bell alarms.
Why might this breaker arrive with ABB or GE branding?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Depending on the manufacturing date, the FBH36TE070RV may feature either GE or ABB branding. The physical dimensions, specifications, and UL listings remain identical regardless of the label.
What wire sizes do the factory-installed lugs accept?
The load side lugs on this 70A breaker accept copper or aluminum wire gauges from 4 AWG to 1/0 AWG. Always torque the terminals to the manufacturer specifications printed on the breaker faceplate to ensure a secure connection.
What design features allow the FBH36TE070RV to achieve its high interrupting ratings?
The Record Plus series utilizes double-break rotary contact structures and advanced ablative materials to enhance arc interruption. This current-limiting design helps reduce arc flash energy and provides a 100kAIC rating at 480VAC.
Is the thermal-magnetic trip unit on the FBH36TE070RV adjustable?
No, this FB frame breaker is supplied with a factory-installed, non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time and instantaneous trip functions are fixed.
What safety precautions are required when installing the FBH36TE070RV?
Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician. Verify that all power sources to the panelboard are de-energized, locked out, and tagged out before mounting the breaker or terminating the conductors.
