TKMA836T500 - 500Amp Trip Unit

TKMA836T500 - 500 Amp Trip Unit

The TKMA836T500 is a 500 amp, 3-pole circuit breaker made for your commercial and industrial electrical systems that need reliable circuit protection and a proper fit within existing equipment. Designed for Type TKM8 applications, this breaker is commonly used in switchgear and power distribution systems where maintaining the original setup is important.

In many facilities, electrical equipment stays in service for decades. When a breaker needs to be replaced, finding a unit that matches the existing system can save time and avoid unnecessary modifications. The TKMA836T500 is built for those situations — helping maintenance teams and electricians keep systems operating without changing the overall design of the equipment.

Rated for 600VAC, this breaker is used in higher-capacity electrical systems found in manufacturing plants, commercial buildings, and industrial operations. Its job is straightforward: help protect electrical equipment from overloads and short circuits while supporting safe and consistent power distribution throughout the system.

The TKMA836T500 is also a common choice for retrofit and maintenance work involving older infrastructure that still performs reliably. Instead of replacing entire sections of equipment, many facilities continue using compatible components designed for the original system. That’s where breakers like this continue to play an important role.
