General Electric TJK436F000 3 Pole Circuit Breaker FRAME ONLY
The General Electric TJK436F000 is a 3 Pole thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker frame only with a current rating of 400 Amps and a voltage rating of 240/480/600VAC, 500VDC. It has an interrupting rating of 42kA at 240VAC, 30kA at 480VAC, 22kA at 600VAC, 20kA at 500VDC and a line and load lug terminal connection. Trip unit sold separately.
Are the trip unit and lugs included with the TJK436F000?
No. This catalog number is for the breaker frame only. Interchangeable trip units and line or load lug kits must be purchased separately and field-installed.
What type of trip unit is required for this circuit breaker frame?
The TJK436F000 requires a field-installable thermal magnetic trip unit from the General Electric J600 line, such as the TJK436T or TJK636T series.
Which lug kit is compatible with this TJK frame?
The TCAL43 lug terminal kit is commonly used for 400-amp applications on TJK and THJK frames, accepting both aluminum and copper conductors.
Does the TJK436F000 support adjustable trip settings?
The breaker frame itself does not control trip settings. However, the compatible interchangeable TJK trip units feature adjustable instantaneous trip functions for customized short-circuit protection.
Why might this General Electric circuit breaker frame arrive with an ABB label?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. As a result, you may receive this exact J600 line frame with either GE or ABB branding depending on the manufacturing date. Both share identical form, fit, and function.
Is this frame suitable for 400-amp continuous applications?
Yes, the TJK436F000 is a 400-amp maximum frame. However, the actual continuous current capacity is dictated by the specific amperage of the installed trip unit, which can range from 125 amps up to 400 amps.
What is the benefit of a frame-only circuit breaker?
Purchasing the frame separately allows panel builders and electricians to customize the breaker's exact amperage and lug configuration for the specific demands of their electrical system.
