Product FAQs
6 answersWhat is the primary application for the TECL36050?
The TECL36050 is a magnetic-only motor circuit protector (MCP) designed for short-circuit and ground-fault protection in motor circuits. It is typically installed in motor control centers (MCCs) or combination motor starters alongside an external overload relay.
Does the TECL36050 provide thermal overload protection?
No. This breaker features an instantaneous-only (magnetic) trip unit. It does not contain a thermal element for overload protection, which must be provided separately by a motor starter's overload relay.
Can the TECL36050 be reverse fed?
Yes, this breaker is suitable for reverse-fed applications. Power can be safely supplied to either the line or load side lug terminals without compromising the breaker's protective functions.
Which panelboards are compatible with the TECL36050?
This E-frame motor circuit protector is designed for unit-mount applications and is commonly installed in GE A-Series panelboards, GE Spectra Series panelboards, and compatible GE motor control enclosures.
What wire sizes do the standard lugs on this breaker accept?
Standard lugs for the 50A TECL frame typically accommodate #14 to #3 AWG copper conductors or #12 to #1 AWG aluminum conductors.
What does the I - Instantaneous function mean on this breaker?
The I function indicates that the breaker provides instantaneous magnetic protection only. It is designed to trip immediately upon detecting a short circuit or ground fault, while relying on a separate overload relay to handle normal motor startup inrush currents.
