Features & benefits

• High AIC rating (80 kA @ 415 V) for robust interruption of large fault currents and improved system safety.
• Magnetic‑only instantaneous protection (I function) for fast clearing of short circuits without thermal trip delay—suitable for specific motor or fault protection schemes.
• Feed‑through connection simplifies downstream distribution wiring and reduces panel footprint.
• FD frame platform provides mechanical robustness and compatibility with Record Plus accessories and mounting systems.

Installation & safety notes

• Verify system voltage compatibility (rated to 690 V) and appropriate coordination with upstream/downstream protective devices.
• Magnetic‑only protection provides instantaneous trip action; ensure this characteristic matches application requirements since thermal/long‑time protection is not provided.
• Confirm mechanical mounting and feeder connection requirements per GE installation instructions.
• Use GE time‑current data and coordination charts when integrating into protective schemes.
