Description

Built for heavy-duty industrial applications, the GE TKMA836600 delivers 600 amps of thermal-magnetic protection in a 3-pole configuration. This K-Frame breaker is designed for bolt-on installation within GE A-Series panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. It provides long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions with an interchangeable trip unit. Delivering a 30 kAIC interrupting rating at 480VAC, it serves as a robust solution for legacy GE power systems.

Product FAQs

6 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the TKMA836600 circuit breaker?

This 600A K-frame breaker is designed for installation in GE A-Series panelboards, GE switchboards, and motor control centers that accept bolt-on connections.

What wire sizes do the standard lugs on the TKMA836600 accept?

The factory lugs accommodate three conductors per phase, with a wire range of 3/0 AWG to 500 kcmil for both aluminum and copper conductors.

What does the LI trip function code mean on this breaker?

The LI designation indicates that the breaker provides Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection. The Long-Time function protects against sustained overloads, while the Instantaneous function trips the breaker immediately during a severe short circuit.

How does the adjustable magnetic trip work on the TKMA836600?

This breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element. This allows you to tune the instantaneous short-circuit pickup threshold to coordinate with other protective devices in your electrical system.

What is the difference between the GE TKMA836600 and THKMA836600?

The main difference is their short-circuit interrupting capacity. The TKMA836600 is rated for 30kA at 480VAC, while the THKMA836600 is a higher-interrupting version rated for 35kA at 480VAC. Both share the same physical K-frame dimensions and bolt-on mounting.

Why might this breaker have ABB branding instead of General Electric?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Depending on the production date, legacy K-frame breakers like the TKMA836600 may carry either GE or ABB branding. They are identical in form, fit, and function.
