Product FAQs
6 answers
Which panelboards and enclosures are compatible with the FCN36TE030R?
This breaker is designed for use in GE switchboards, motor control centers, and standalone enclosures. It can also be installed in GE Spectra panelboards when using the appropriate retrofit kit.
Why might this breaker arrive with ABB branding instead of General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Depending on the manufacturing date, the FCN36TE030R may feature either ABB or GE branding, but the physical dimensions, mounting, and electrical specifications remain identical.
Can the FCN36TE030R be used in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC applications. It provides a 40kA interrupting capacity at both 250VDC and 500VDC.
Are the thermal and magnetic trip settings adjustable on this breaker?
No, the FCN36TE030R features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
What does the FC100 frame designation mean for this 30A breaker?
The FC100 frame indicates the physical size and maximum amperage capacity of this specific Record Plus breaker line. While this specific model is rated for 30A, it shares the same physical dimensions as other FC-frame breakers rated up to 100A.
How is the FCN36TE030R mounted inside a panel?
This is a unit mount, bolt-on circuit breaker. It secures directly to the panel bus or mounting pan using bolted connections rather than snapping or plugging into place.
