Description
Built for industrial power systems, the THLC136060WL is a 60A current-limiting MCCB that protects critical infrastructure. By minimizing let-through energy, it prevents extensive damage to downstream equipment during short circuits. This unit-mount breaker serves as a drop-in replacement for legacy GE Spectra RMS and Record Plus models. It installs into switchboards and motor control centers, utilizing included TCAL12 lugs. It features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip and 200kAIC at 480V.Specifications

Product FAQs
8 answersWhat does the 'WL' suffix in the THLC136060WL catalog number indicate?
The 'WL' suffix designates that the breaker is shipped from the factory with both line and load lugs installed. Breakers ordered without this suffix typically do not include line-side lugs.
Can the THLC136060WL be used to replace older GE breakers?
Yes, this model serves as a direct drop-in replacement for legacy GE Spectra RMS and Record Plus molded case circuit breakers that share the same physical frame size and electrical specifications.
What frame size category does the THLC136060WL fall under?
It is built on the GE THLC1 frame, which has a maximum physical capacity of 150 amps, even though this specific model is calibrated for a 60-amp continuous load.
Does the THLC136060WL plug into a panelboard bus?
No, this is a unit-mount breaker with a feed-thru connection. It must be bolted directly to the mounting surface in compatible GE switchboards, motor control centers, or individual enclosures, and hardwired on both the line and load sides.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the factory lugs on the THLC136060WL?
The factory-installed lugs are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. They accept 14 to 3 AWG copper wire and 12 to 1 AWG aluminum wire.
How does the interrupting rating change when applied at 600V compared to 480V?
The THLC136060WL is fully rated for 200kAIC at 240V and 480V. However, when installed in a 600V system, the maximum interrupting capacity is 50kAIC.
Can I adjust the trip settings or swap the trip unit on the THLC136060WL?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory-set and non-interchangeable.
What is the primary advantage of using a current-limiting breaker like the THLC136060WL?
Current-limiting breakers clear faults in less than half a cycle. By drastically reducing the peak let-through current and energy during a short circuit, they protect sensitive downstream components from severe mechanical and thermal stress.
