Description
GE SGHC3601L3XX
Technical Specifications:
- Brand: General Electric (GE)
- Model: SGHC3601L3XX
- Product Type: Panelboard Switch / Circuit Breaker
- Voltage Rating: 600V AC Class
Functional Features:
- Safe Switching: Provides a visible, reliable means to isolate panelboard sections for maintenance.
- Overcurrent Protection: Integrated protective elements to safeguard downstream feeders and equipment.
- High Interrupting Rating: Capable of safely clearing severe fault currents in commercial power systems.
Application Scenarios:
Deployed in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and utility substations for main distribution and feeder protection.
Performance Parameters:
- Mechanical Life: Thousands of make/break operations with consistent performance.
- Dielectric Strength: High isolation voltage to prevent flashover in 600V environments.
Material Composition:
Silver-alloy contacts, flame-retardant thermoset housing, and precision-machined copper busbars.
Structural Characteristics:
Standard panelboard form factor with a rotary or toggle operating handle, mechanical position indicator, and bolt-on or plug-in mounting options.
Working Principle:
Operates as a manual switch for isolation or an automatic breaker for protection. When a fault occurs, the internal trip mechanism releases stored energy to separate contacts and extinguish the arc.
Installation Requirements:
Must be installed by qualified electricians in accordance with NEC and local codes. Ensure proper torque on all line and load connections.
Usage Precautions:
Always verify the circuit is de-energized before servicing. Perform regular insulation resistance and contact resistance testing.
