Description

Built for heavy industrial loads, this 1200-amp K-Frame breaker delivers dependable thermal-magnetic protection. The 3-pole unit is ideal for demanding commercial environments. Designed to fit GE A-Series panelboards and switchboards, it serves as an exact replacement for the older TKMA31200WL. When upgrading, facilities often transition to the Spectra RMS SKHA36AT1200. The breaker provides a 35kAIC rating at 480VAC and features an interchangeable trip unit. Factory lugs ensure a secure fit.

Product FAQs

6 answers
What equipment is the THKMA312000WL compatible with?

This 1200A K-frame breaker is designed for unit-mount or bolt-on installation in legacy GE A-Series panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.

How does the adjustable magnetic trip function operate on this breaker?

While the thermal (long-time) trip is fixed at 1200A, the magnetic (instantaneous) trip is adjustable. Electricians can set the short-circuit trip threshold anywhere from 3600A to 10000A using the front dial to ensure proper selective coordination with downstream devices.

What wire sizes do the included lugs accept?

The factory-installed lugs accommodate four 250 to 500 kcmil copper or aluminum conductors per phase. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation to prevent thermal issues.

Why is this breaker listed under both ABB and General Electric?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Legacy GE molded case circuit breakers, including the K-frame THKMA series, are now manufactured and supported by ABB while maintaining exact backward compatibility with existing GE installations.

What does the WL suffix indicate in the THKMA312000WL catalog number?

The WL designation signifies that the breaker is supplied with factory-installed line and load lugs. Breakers without this suffix typically require terminal lugs to be purchased and installed separately.

What safety considerations apply when using this breaker in DC systems?

When applying this breaker in direct current systems up to 500VDC, ensure the available system fault current does not exceed its 22kA DC interrupting rating. Proper pole wiring configurations must be followed for safe DC isolation.
