Description
GE TEDL36060
Technical Specifications
- Current Rating: High ampere rating for industrial feeders.
- Poles: 3-Pole.
- Trip Type: Thermal-Magnetic or Electronic Trip Unit.
- Mounting: Bolt-on or plug-in configuration.
Functional Features
- Adjustable Protection: Allows customization of trip settings for selective coordination with downstream devices.
- High Fault Clearing: Engineered to safely interrupt extreme short-circuit currents.
- Accessory Ready: Compatible with shunt trips, auxiliary contacts, and motor operators.
Application Scenarios
Deployed in main distribution panels, large motor starters, industrial plant feeders, and commercial power infrastructure.
Performance Parameters
- Short Circuit Rating: High kAIC rating suitable for industrial fault levels.
- Thermal Memory: Retains overload history for accurate protection coordination.
- Mechanical Endurance: Designed for frequent operational switching.
Material Composition
Reinforced thermoplastic housing, high-conductivity copper contacts, and precision-calibrated trip mechanisms.
Structural Characteristics
Larger industrial frame size with bolt-on terminals, adjustable trip dials (if equipped), and a mechanical trip indicator.
Operating Principle
Continuously monitors current flow. When current exceeds the calibrated threshold for a specified time (overload) or instantaneously (short circuit), the trip mechanism releases the contacts to interrupt the circuit safely.
Installation Requirements
Requires proper torque on all power connections. Ensure adequate bus bracing for fault currents. Follow strict arc flash safety procedures during installation and maintenance.
Usage Precautions
Verify trip settings match the system coordination study. Test breaker function annually. Never bypass or modify internal trip mechanisms.
