Engineered for commercial and industrial power distribution, this 600-amp SG-frame molded case circuit breaker features true RMS sensing. It installs into GE Spectra Series panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. Offering a 100kAIC rating at 480VAC, the unit provides adjustable long-time, short-time, and instantaneous trip functions. Note that this model is replaced by the XT5LU360BEFF000XXX, which requires a retrofit kit for legacy enclosures.
Does the SGPP36AT0600 require a rating plug to operate?
Yes, all GE Spectra RMS circuit breakers require a front-mounted interchangeable rating plug to establish the continuous ampere rating. For a 600A rating, use the SRPG600A600 rating plug.
Which lug kit is compatible with the SGPP36AT0600 circuit breaker?
The standard lug kit for the 600A SG frame is the TCLK365. This kit accepts either one 8 AWG to 600 kcmil wire or two 2/0 AWG to 500 kcmil wires per phase for copper or aluminum conductors.
How are the trip settings adjusted on the SGPP36AT0600?
The breaker features a solid-state electronic trip unit with adjustable dials on the faceplate. Once the rating plug is installed to set the maximum continuous current, the long-time, short-time, and instantaneous pickup and delay settings can be fine-tuned to coordinate with your specific system requirements.
Is the SGPP36AT0600 rated for 100 percent continuous current?
Yes, the SGPP frame is 100 percent UL rated. This allows the breaker to carry its full 600A continuous current rating when installed in a properly sized and ventilated enclosure, rather than being limited to the standard 80 percent continuous load.
Is the SGPP36AT0600 a current-limiting circuit breaker?
Yes, the P in the SGPP frame designation indicates it is a high-interrupting, current-limiting breaker. It is designed to clear faults rapidly, reducing the let-through energy to protect downstream equipment.
Is there a direct modern replacement for the SGPP36AT0600?
Yes, ABB replaces the legacy Spectra SG frame with the Tmax XT5 series, specifically part number XT5LU360BEFF000XXX. However, installing an XT5 into an existing GE Spectra panelboard or switchboard requires a specific retrofit hardware kit.
Why is this breaker listed under both ABB and General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Legacy GE Spectra Series breakers like the SGPP36AT0600 are now manufactured and supported under the ABB brand, maintaining the exact same physical and electrical specifications.
