Serving as a critical safety component, this 250-amp J-Frame breaker protects three-phase electrical distribution systems from damaging fault currents. Facility managers rely on this specific configuration to maintain operational continuity in legacy GE A-Series panelboards and Spectra switchboards. The robust bolt-on mounting style guarantees reliable phase connections.
Is the GE TJJ436250 still manufactured, or is there a modern replacement?
The GE TJJ series is a legacy product line that entered limited production after ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions. For new installations or direct replacements, ABB recommends the Tmax XT series, specifically the XT3 or XT4 frame for 250A applications. Retrofit kits are available for integrating XT breakers into existing Spectra panelboards.
What is the magnetic trip adjustment range for this 250A breaker?
The TJJ436250 features a fixed thermal trip and an adjustable magnetic trip. The instantaneous magnetic pickup can be adjusted from 750A to 2500A using the dials located on the front of the trip unit.
What are the lug wire capacity options for the TJJ436250?
The factory-installed line and load lugs support two wiring configurations. You can terminate a single copper or aluminum conductor ranging from 6 AWG to 600 kcmil, or you can terminate dual conductors ranging from 2/0 AWG to 250 kcmil per phase.
Is the TJJ436250 suitable for reverse feed installations?
Yes, this breaker does not have a line or load restriction. It is suitable for reverse feed applications, allowing power to be supplied to either the top or bottom terminals without affecting the trip calibration.
Can the TJJ436250 be used in 500VDC applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC applications, including ungrounded battery systems. It provides a 20kA interrupting capacity at both 250VDC and 500VDC.
Which GE distribution equipment accepts the TJJ436250 breaker?
This J-Frame breaker is designed for bolt-on installation in legacy GE A-Series panelboards, GE Spectra switchboards, and GE Motor Control Centers.
