Description
GE FBN36TE015RV
Technical Specifications
- Poles: 3-Pole.
- Frame Size: FBN.
- Continuous Current Rating: 15 Amps.
- Voltage Rating: 600VAC Max.
Functional Features
- Sensitive Trip: Calibrated for precise protection of smaller conductors and equipment.
- Common Trip: All three poles open simultaneously on any fault condition.
- Padlockable Handle: Allows lockout/tagout for maintenance safety.
Application Scenarios
Control power transformers, instrumentation panels, lighting circuits, and small motor protection.
Performance Parameters
- Thermal Memory: Retains heat during temporary overloads to prevent nuisance tripping.
- Dielectric Withstand: Withstands high impulse voltages without breakdown.
- Vibration Resistance: Tested for industrial vibration environments.
Material Composition
Flame-retardant molded case, silver-tin oxide contacts, and corrosion-resistant terminal hardware.
Structural Characteristics
Compact 3-pole configuration. Line and load terminals are clearly marked. Supports standard FBN accessories.
Working Principle
Operates on the same thermal-magnetic principle as larger breakers, scaled for 15A continuous current with precise calibration for smaller fault currents.
Installation Requirements
Verify conductor ampacity matches 15A rating. Ensure proper spacing in the panelboard for heat dissipation.
Usage Precautions
Do not oversize the breaker to prevent conductor damage. Regularly exercise the mechanism to prevent binding.
