Overview
The General Electric THED136015 is a heavy-duty molded case circuit breaker from the E150 line, delivering thermal-magnetic trip protection for 3-phase electrical systems. Rated for 15A at 600VAC with a 25kA interrupting capacity at 480V, this breaker combines long-time and instantaneous protection functions to safeguard equipment from overloads and short circuits in demanding industrial and commercial power distribution environments.
Key Features
- 3-Pole Configuration: Designed for 3-phase, three-wire applications requiring simultaneous protection across all phases
- Thermal-Magnetic Trip Unit: Long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection—thermal element responds to sustained overloads while magnetic element triggers on high-current faults
- 600VAC Rating: Suitable for high-voltage industrial circuits and distribution panels rated up to 600V
- 25kA Interrupting Capacity: High fault current handling at 480V ensures safe interruption of significant short-circuit events
- Bolt-On Mounting: Quick, secure installation into standard panelboards and switchboards using load-side lug connections
- E150 Frame Series: Standardized footprint compatible with existing E150 installations and replacements
