Description
Built for heavy industrial environments, the TB83600 is a 600A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker from the GE Tri-Break series. This bolt-on unit mounts into GE switchboards, AV-Line panels, and motor control centers to deliver reliable thermal-magnetic protection. Delivering a massive 200 kAIC interrupting rating at 480VAC, it utilizes an integrally fused design for superior current limiting. For modern upgrades, this frame is replaced by the ABB Tmax XT series.Specifications
