Product FAQs
7 answers
What equipment is the SSF5G8X32000000 designed to fit?
This insulated case circuit breaker is engineered specifically for compatibility with GE Power Break II switchboards, switchgear, and motor control centers.
How are the electrical connections made on this breaker?
The SSF5G8X32000000 features a busbar connection for unit-mount installations. It bolts directly to the bus and does not accept standard cable lugs.
What protection parameters can be adjusted with the LSIG trip unit?
The electronic trip unit allows electricians to adjust Long-Time (overload), Short-Time (selective coordination), Instantaneous (severe short circuits), and Ground-Fault settings to meet specific system coordination requirements.
Why is this Power Break II breaker branded as both ABB and GE?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. As a result, this SSF frame breaker may carry either ABB or General Electric branding depending on the production date, but the form, fit, and function are completely identical.
How does the integrated ground-fault function improve system safety?
The ground-fault protection detects low-level leakage currents that bypass the normal circuit path. This allows the breaker to trip before the fault escalates, protecting equipment from arcing damage and reducing fire risks.
Can this unit-mount breaker be converted for drawout applications?
No, the SSF5G8X32000000 is factory-configured for stationary unit mounting. Drawout installations require a different frame configuration within the Power Break II series.
Is this 3000A breaker suitable for DC power systems?
No, this breaker is rated exclusively for AC voltage systems up to 600V AC. It is not designed or rated for direct current (DC) applications.
