Product FAQs

6 answers
What does the "WL" suffix indicate in the TJK636500WL catalog number?

The "WL" suffix designates that this breaker comes complete with factory-installed line and load lugs. If the breaker were ordered without this suffix, it would be supplied without lugs.

Can the TJK636500WL be back-fed or reverse-fed?

No. According to General Electric specifications, TJK and THJK frame circuit breakers equipped with interchangeable trip units are not suitable for reverse-feed applications. Power must be connected to the line side terminals.

Are the trip units on this breaker field-replaceable?

Yes. The TJK frame features an interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit. This allows electricians to swap or upgrade the trip unit in the field if load requirements change, without needing to replace the entire breaker frame.

What wire sizes are supported by the factory lugs?

The standard factory lugs on this 500A breaker are designed for dual conductors per phase. They accept two 4/0 AWG to 350 kcmil copper conductors, or two 300 kcmil to 500 kcmil aluminum conductors.

What types of enclosures and panels accept the TJK636500WL?

This unit mount breaker is designed specifically for integration into GE J600 panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers, and standalone J-Frame enclosures.

How is the trip unit adjusted on this model?

This breaker utilizes a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element. This allows you to fine-tune the instantaneous short-circuit trip threshold to coordinate with specific downstream loads and equipment.
