What enclosures are compatible with the TKM836Y800 breaker?
This 800A K-frame device is specifically designed for bolt-on installation in GE switchboards, motor control centers, and Type CCB panelboards. It is an industrial component and will not fit in standard residential load centers.
Does the TKM836Y800 function as a standard circuit breaker or a molded case switch?
This specific model is categorized as a molded case switch or non-automatic circuit interrupter. It is built in the same K-frame housing as standard thermal-magnetic breakers but is primarily designed for manual switching and circuit isolation in industrial panels.
What wire sizes are supported by the terminals on this breaker?
The factory lug configuration accepts three conductors per phase, accommodating wire sizes from 3/0 AWG up to 500 kcmil. The terminals are rated for both aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) wiring.
Will this breaker work in a 250V DC electrical system?
Yes, the TKM836Y800 is rated for both AC and DC systems. It supports up to 250V DC with a 20kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for specialized industrial DC power applications.
Why might my TKM836Y800 arrive with ABB branding instead of GE?
Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, legacy GE K-frame breakers are often manufactured under the ABB name. The physical dimensions, mounting style, and electrical specifications remain completely identical regardless of the logo on the label.
How is the TKM836Y800 secured inside the panelboard?
This is a bolt-on device, meaning it requires bolted connections directly to the busbar of a compatible GE enclosure. This ensures a secure, high-capacity connection capable of handling 800A industrial loads.
