ABB / General Electric SGHA36AT0600 Molded Case Circuit Breaker Frame Only

Yes, this SG600-frame circuit breaker requires a field-installable rating plug, such as a General Electric SRPG series plug, to establish the continuous ampere rating. The breaker will not operate properly without the correct rating plug installed.

This bolt-on molded case circuit breaker is engineered exclusively for installation in General Electric Spectra Series panelboards and switchboards. It cannot be mounted in standard A-Series panels or older legacy GE distribution lines.

The terminal configuration on the SGHA36AT0600 is rated to accept either a single 8 AWG to 600 kcmil conductor or dual 2/0 AWG to 500 kcmil conductors per phase. These connections are suitable for terminating both copper and aluminum wire.

LSI indicates that the solid-state trip system features Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous protection functions. This allows panel builders to implement precise overcurrent coordination and tracking short-time adjustments for complex commercial electrical setups.

Because GE Spectra RMS breakers are obsolete and no longer manufactured, facilities can upgrade to the ABB Tmax XT series. The ABB Tmax XT5NU360BFFF000XXX serves as a direct cross-reference substitute when paired with the corresponding Spectra retrofit adapter kit.

Yes, this breaker is approved for reverse feed applications. Line power can be connected to either the top or bottom terminals without compromising the electronic trip capabilities or violating safety standards.

The electronic trip unit utilizes true RMS digital sampling to evaluate both sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal currents. This ensures accurate and reliable circuit protection in environments with heavy harmonic distortion, such as facilities operating variable frequency drives or high-density IT server loads.
