Overview
The General Electric KS-728 is a single-pole circuit breaker rated at 20 amperes, engineered to provide dependable protection against overcurrent and short-circuit faults. This GE breaker is a compact, economical choice for panel-mount installations in low-voltage electrical systems where space and budget are considerations.
Key Features
- 20-ampere current rating with thermal-magnetic trip protection
- Single pole (1P) configuration for 120V circuits
- Manual handle operation for easy reset
- Panel-mount bolt-on or plug-in design (verify mounting type with system integrator)
- Compact footprint suitable for space-constrained panels
- Compliant with industry safety standards for low-voltage breakers
