TKMA836700 **Older Style** - 700Amp Circuit Breaker

TKMA836700 **Older Style** - 700 Amp Circuit Breaker

Keeping your older electrical equipment running smoothly often comes down to finding the right breaker with the right fit. The TKMA836700 Older Style Black Face circuit breaker was designed for that exact purpose. Built for commercial and industrial power systems, this 3-pole, 700 amp breaker is commonly used in existing TKM8 installations where matching the original setup matters for both function and installation compatibility.

This molded case circuit breaker features an interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit along with internal common trip protection, helping respond to overloads and short-circuit conditions across all poles at the same time. The bolt-on design provides a secure connection in compatible equipment, while the included load-side lugs help reduce extra installation steps in the field.

Because many facilities continue operating long-standing electrical systems, breakers like the TKMA836700 remain an important part of maintaining switchgear, panelboards, and distribution equipment already in service. Its older style black face configuration helps support proper form and fit in applications where appearance and mounting style need to stay consistent with existing gear.
