Key Features
- True RMS digital current sampling, stable protection under distorted non-sinusoidal load waveforms
- Interchangeable front rating plug, convenient field modification of rated current without breaker disassembly
- LSI three-stage adjustable protection curve for overload, selective short-time and instantaneous short-circuit fault
- Current-limiting contact structure to reduce arc flash energy and equipment damage under short circuit
- Reverse feed capability, applicable for dual power supply and multi-source distribution layouts
- 100% continuous rated, suitable for heavy continuous loads including HVAC systems
- Robust double-break contact mechanism to improve fault interruption reliability
Application Scenarios
- Main feeder and branch circuit protection for industrial low-voltage switchboards
- Motor control center (MCC) power inlet protection
- Power plant auxiliary power distribution panels
- Retrofit, upgrade and spare replacement of legacy GE Spectra systems
- Large commercial building power distribution systems
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- Install inside metal control enclosure; strictly follow specified torque value when tightening lugs.
- Verify rating plug and trip parameter setting match load requirements before energizing.
- Execute lockout/tagout procedure and cut off upstream power before removing or servicing breaker.
- Regular inspection for terminal overheating signs, contact erosion and dust accumulation.
- Original GE Spectra SG series discontinued; verify mounting dimension, rack footprint and protection coordination before replacement.
FAQ
Q: What does LSI trip stand for? A: LSI includes long-time overload protection, adjustable short-time delay for selectivity, instantaneous trip for severe short-circuit faults.
Q: Are terminal lugs included with SGLA36AT0400? A: No, lugs are sold separately, the matching lug part number is TCLK365.
