Description

Engineered for commercial and industrial applications, this 3-pole, 150A current-limiting molded case circuit breaker delivers robust thermal-magnetic protection. It features an adjustable magnetic trip and a fixed thermal element for precise calibration. The unit bolts into GE Spectra Series panelboards, A-Series panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. Rated at 200 kAIC at 480VAC, it restricts let-through energy to protect downstream equipment from severe fault currents.

Product FAQs

8 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the THLC234150?

This bolt-on circuit breaker is designed for use in GE Spectra Series and A-Series panelboards, as well as compatible GE switchboards and motor control centers.

What does the current limiting feature of the THLC234150 mean for my system?

As a current limiting breaker, it is engineered to quickly interrupt severe fault currents. This restricts the let-through energy, protecting downstream wiring and sensitive equipment from thermal and mechanical damage during a short circuit.

Can I adjust the trip settings on the THLC234150?

Yes, this breaker features a thermal magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for standard overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element. This allows you to fine-tune the instantaneous short circuit trip response to match your specific load requirements.

What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this 150A breaker?

The factory-installed lugs accept copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 4 AWG up to 300 kcmil. Ensure you use the proper torque specifications when terminating the wires.

What does the LI trip function code indicate on this GE breaker?

The LI designation means the thermal magnetic trip unit includes Long-Time (L) protection for continuous overloads and Instantaneous (I) protection for immediate short circuit clearing.

Is the THLC234150 suitable for HVAC applications?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. It is also UL 489 listed for standard commercial and industrial applications.

Why would I need a 200kAIC rating for a 480V system?

A 200kAIC rating is required in heavy commercial and industrial environments where the available fault current from the utility or local transformers is exceptionally high. This ensures the breaker can safely clear massive short circuits without sustaining catastrophic damage.

Does the THLC234150 require a specific mounting hardware kit?

Yes, as a bolt-on breaker, it requires the appropriate mounting hardware specific to the GE Spectra or A-Series panelboard, switchboard, or motor control center where it is being installed.
