Description
Built for heavy-duty commercial applications, the THJK636500WL is a 3-pole, 500-amp molded case circuit breaker from GE. It provides robust thermal magnetic (LI) protection with fixed thermal and adjustable magnetic trip settings. This unit mount MCCB fits seamlessly into GE A-Series panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. For modern upgrades, this legacy J-frame model can be replaced by the ABB Tmax XT5 series using a retrofit kit. It features a 35 kAIC rating at 480VAC.Specifications
