Description
Engineered for heavy-duty applications, the GE FBN36TE050R2 is a 50A, 3-pole MCCB from the Record Plus family. It delivers precise protection using a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Designed for unit-mount installations, this breaker includes load lugs only, denoted by the "R2" suffix. It is an excellent modern substitute for older TED136050 models. With an interrupting capacity of 65kA at 480V, it features a current-limiting double-break rotary contact design.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersWhy is this breaker branded as both ABB and GE?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Depending on the manufacturing date, this Record Plus FB frame breaker may feature ABB or GE branding, but the physical dimensions, mounting, and electrical performance remain identical.
What does the R2 suffix in FBN36TE050R2 indicate for installation?
The R2 suffix specifies that this breaker is supplied with load lugs only. It is designed for bolt-on panel installations where line-side lugs are not required.
What panelboards are compatible with the FBN36TE050R2?
This FB 100 frame circuit breaker is designed for use in GE Record Plus panelboards and compatible general-purpose enclosures that accept bolt-on FB-frame breakers.
What do the letters FBN represent in this part number?
In the Record Plus nomenclature, F designates the frame family, B indicates the compact 100A maximum frame size, and N specifies the normal interrupting capacity of 65kA at 480VAC.
Is the thermal-magnetic trip unit on this breaker adjustable?
No, the FBN36TE050R2 features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit that is factory-installed and non-user interchangeable.
Does this breaker provide current-limiting protection?
Yes, the Record Plus FB frame utilizes a double-break rotary contact structure and ablative materials to provide current-limiting performance and reduce arc flash energy during a short-circuit fault.
Can the FBN36TE050R2 be reverse fed?
Yes, GE Record Plus FB frame thermal-magnetic circuit breakers are suitable for reverse-feed applications.
