GENERAL ELECTRIC SKLC3612L3XX Bolt-On Circuit Breaker, 1200A, 600V, 65kAIC @ 480V

General Electric SKLC3612L3XX bolt-on circuit breaker is used to interrupt the flow of electricity when a fault occurs, preventing damage to equipment, fires or electrical hazards. This breaker is typically employed in electrical distribution panels and load centers to protect circuits and electrical systems from overloads and short circuits.

Working Mechanism:

• General Electric SKLC3612L3XX bolt-on circuit breaker monitors electrical current continuously. It utilises an interchangeable RMS trip unit with settings for long, short and instantaneous trips.
• The long time function protects against prolonged overloads, while the short time function guards against short-term surges. In cases of extreme fault currents, the instantaneous trip function ensures an immediate shutdown.
• Solid-state technology enhances precision, replacing mechanical systems for more reliable operation.
• The breaker securely bolts onto the bus bars within the electrical panel and is suitable for reverse-fed applications. However, it's important to note that lugs for wire connections are not included and must be added separately.

Features:

• General Electric SKLC3612L3XX bolt-on circuit breaker features long-time, short-time and instantaneous LSI trip functions, ensuring tailored protection against prolonged overloads, short-term faults and immediate fault responses.
• This breaker has a solid-state design with an advanced semiconductor technology, enhancing reliability and accuracy in tripping during electrical faults.
• It comes with a versatile 3-phase compatibility, making it suitable for various industrial and commercial electrical systems.
• This breaker offers a remarkable 35000A interrupting capacity at 480V, guaranteeing the safe interruption of high fault currents without system damage.
• It is equipped with an interchangeable RMS trip unit, allowing for customisable trip settings to meet specific protection requirements, adding flexibility to your electrical system design.
