General Electric FCN36TE020R2 3 Pole Circuit Breaker
The General Electric FCN36TE020R2 is a 3 Pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 20 Amps and a voltage rating of 600V. It has an interrupting rating of 65kAIC at 480V. The FCN36TE020R2 has a bolt-on connection type and includes long time and instantaneous trip functions.
What does the "R2" suffix indicate in the FCN36TE020R2 part number?
In the GE Record Plus nomenclature, the "R2" suffix means the circuit breaker is supplied with load-side lugs only. For comparison, an "R1" suffix includes both line and load lugs, while "R3" includes line lugs only.
Can the FCN36TE020R2 be installed in legacy GE Spectra panelboards?
Yes, this Record Plus FC100 frame breaker can be used in older GE Spectra panelboards and switchboards, provided you use the correct ABB or GE retrofit kit for the installation.
Is the FCN36TE020R2 rated for use in DC electrical systems?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this thermal-magnetic breaker is rated for DC applications with an interrupting capacity of 40kA at 250VDC and 40kA at 500VDC.
Are the trip settings on the FCN36TE020R2 adjustable?
No, this breaker features a factory-installed thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings. The Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip functions cannot be adjusted in the field.
Does the 3-pole FCN36TE020R2 share the same dimensions as the 2-pole version?
Yes, all GE Record Plus FC100 frame breakers, whether 2-pole or 3-pole, are built using the exact same 3-pole physical footprint.
How is the FCN36TE020R2 connected within an enclosure or switchboard?
It utilizes a unit-mount, bolt-on connection. The breaker bolts directly into compatible GE switchboards, motor control centers, or custom enclosures, rather than snapping onto a DIN rail or plugging into a bus.
