ABB / General Electric FBV36TE020RV Molded Case Circuit Breaker

The "RV" suffix specifies that the breaker includes factory-installed load lugs and specialized line-side connections designed exclusively for mounting in GE A-Series AD and AD Plus panelboards.

No. The line-side connections on the FBV36TE020RV are precisely engineered to bolt onto the bus of GE A-Series AD and AD Plus distribution panelboards. It will not fit in standard residential load centers or DIN-rail enclosures.

In the Record Plus nomenclature, the "V" indicates the interrupting capacity tier for the FB100 frame. It confirms a rating of 35kAIC at 480VAC and 65kAIC at 240VAC.

The load side includes standard wire lugs that accept 14 to 10 AWG wire. However, the line side does not use traditional wire lugs, as it is equipped with specialized connections that bolt directly to the panelboard bus.

No, this unit is equipped with a non-interchangeable, fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection thresholds are factory-set for 20-amp applications and cannot be altered.

This breaker employs a double-break rotary contact structure. This design forces the internal contacts open rapidly during a severe fault, which enhances current limitation and significantly reduces potentially hazardous arc flash let-through energy.

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Depending on the exact production date, this Record Plus breaker may feature either GE or ABB branding, but the physical dimensions, internal components, and panel compatibility remain identical.
