Description
GE TB13030BWE05
Technical Specifications
- Rated Current: 30 Amps
- Poles: 3-Pole
- Voltage Rating: 600VAC Max
- Interrupting Capacity: Standard industrial rating
- Trip Type: Thermal-Magnetic
Functional Features
- Overcurrent Protection: Automatic tripping during overload or short-circuit conditions.
- Manual Switching: Serves as a manual disconnect for maintenance.
- Thermal-Magnetic Trip: Dual-element protection for overloads and short circuits.
- Indicator Window: Visual trip indication.
Application Scenarios
Motor control centers, distribution panels, industrial machinery, and commercial buildings.
Performance Parameters
- Trip Curve: Standard thermal-magnetic characteristic.
- Mechanical Life: Thousands of open/close operations.
- Electrical Life: Hundreds of thousands of full-load operations.
Material Composition
Flame-retardant thermoset enclosure with silver-alloy contacts and precision bimetallic elements.
Structural Characteristics
Standard bolt-on or plug-in configuration with clearly marked line and load terminals.
Working Principle
Thermal element responds to sustained overloads; magnetic element responds to instantaneous short circuits. Both mechanisms trip the latch to open contacts.
Installation Requirements
Install in compatible panelboard. Torque terminals to specification. Verify proper phasing.
Usage Precautions
Never exceed voltage or current ratings. Test trip function periodically. Replace if damaged or worn.
