Product FAQs
6 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the TJK636500 breaker?
This J-Frame breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series panelboards, GE J600 panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers. Verify your specific enclosure accepts 600-amp frame unit-mount breakers.
What wire sizes do the standard lugs on the TJK636500 accept?
The included lugs accommodate two 4/0 AWG to 350 kcmil copper conductors, or two 300 to 500 kcmil aluminum conductors per phase. Always apply the manufacturer recommended torque during installation.
How does the adjustable trip unit work on this model?
This breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal (Long-Time) protection and an adjustable magnetic (Instantaneous) trip. The adjustable magnetic dial allows you to tune the short-circuit response to properly coordinate with downstream protective devices.
Why is this breaker listed under both ABB and General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Legacy GE molded case circuit breakers like the TJK series may arrive with either GE or ABB branding, but they are physically and electrically identical.
Is the TJK636500 a plug-in or bolt-on breaker?
It is a unit-mount, bolt-on circuit breaker. It requires bolted connections to the busbar or mounting assembly rather than plugging directly into a bus structure.
What safety precautions are required when installing this 500A breaker?
Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician. Always de-energize the panelboard, switchboard, or motor control center before servicing, and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to guard against arc flash and shock hazards.
