Product FAQs

7 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the FBN36TE050RV breaker?

This breaker is designed for use with GE Type AD panelboards, which are part of the GE A-Series panelboard line. The RV suffix in the catalog number indicates it includes the specific line connections required for mounting in these panels.

Can I use the FBN36TE050RV to replace an older GE TED breaker?

Yes, the FBN36TE050RV is a direct modern replacement for the discontinued GE TED136050 circuit breaker. It provides the same 50-amp, 3-pole configuration with updated Record Plus technology.

What does the N in the FBN36TE050RV catalog number signify?

The N indicates the breaker's Normal interrupting capacity tier within the GE Record Plus FB frame family. This specific tier provides a 65kAIC rating at 480VAC.

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

The factory-installed load lugs accept copper or aluminum wire ranging from 10 AWG to 4 AWG. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.

How does the FBN36TE050RV mount into the panelboard?

This is a bolt-on circuit breaker. It secures directly to the busbars of compatible GE Type AD panelboards using bolted connections, providing a secure installation suitable for commercial and industrial environments.

What type of trip unit is installed in the FBN36TE050RV?

It features a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit with Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection functions. Both the thermal overload and magnetic short-circuit trip points are fixed and non-adjustable.

Why is this breaker branded as both ABB and General Electric?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions. As a result, GE Record Plus breakers like the FBN36TE050RV are now manufactured and branded under the combined ABB / General Electric name, maintaining the exact same form and fit as legacy GE models.
