The General Electric TECL36100 is a 3 Pole magnetic molded case circuit breaker with a current rating of 100 Amps and a voltage rating of 120-600VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 100kAIC@480V. The TECL36100 has a feed-thru connection type and includes instantaneous trip functions.
What is the primary application for the TECL36100 circuit breaker?
The TECL36100 is a magnetic-only molded case circuit breaker designed primarily as a current limiter. It is typically used in conjunction with TEC36100 Mag-Break Motor Circuit Protectors and magnetic motor starters to provide enhanced short-circuit protection in industrial motor control applications.
What type of trip unit does the TECL36100 feature?
This breaker features an instantaneous-only magnetic trip unit. It does not provide thermal overload protection and must be paired with an appropriate motor starter or overload relay for complete motor protection.
How is the TECL36100 connected within a panel or enclosure?
The TECL36100 utilizes a feed-thru connection type. It is designed to be bolted directly into the circuit path, typically inline with a motor circuit protector or motor starter assembly.
Are ABB and GE TECL36100 breakers interchangeable?
Yes. Following ABB acquiring GE Industrial Solutions, this current limiter may be branded as either GE or ABB. The form, fit, function, and specifications remain identical regardless of the label.
Can the TECL36100 be used as a standalone branch circuit breaker?
No. Because it features an instantaneous magnetic-only trip unit, it does not provide thermal overload protection. It is specifically designed for motor circuit protection and must be used alongside a separate overload device to ensure complete circuit safety and comply with electrical codes.
