FBN36TE070RV - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

FBN36TE070RV - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

If your electrical system remains in service for years, it often depends on replacement components that match the original equipment without requiring panel modifications. The FBN36TE070RV is a 70 Amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker built on the Record Plus™ FB100 frame, making it a dependable form, fit, and functional replacement for compatible installations. With the same frame size, electrical ratings, and connection style, it helps electricians, maintenance personnel, and facility managers replace an existing breaker while preserving the original design of the distribution system.

The breaker is equipped with a factory-installed non-user-replaceable thermal-magnetic trip unit that combines two methods of circuit protection. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads by tripping when excessive current is present over time, while the magnetic element reacts almost immediately during a short-circuit event.
