The GE SRPE60A 40 allows for accurate adjustment of the breaker’s continuous current rating. With a 40 A plug current rating, it can be precisely matched to the requirements of the connected electrical equipment. This helps in preventing overloading and under – loading of the circuit, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
Adjustable Instantaneous Trip
Featuring an adjustable instantaneous trip range from 118 – 501 A, the rating plug offers flexibility in protecting against short – circuit and high – current transient events. This wide range enables it to be used in various industrial scenarios where different levels of short – circuit protection are needed.
Compatibility and Interchangeability
As part of the GE Spectra series, the SRPE60A 40 is designed to be interchangeable across the permissible current ratings of a given circuit breaker frame. This compatibility simplifies the process of upgrading or modifying electrical systems, as installers can easily swap rating plugs to adapt to changing load requirements.
High – Quality Approvals
With UL, CSA, and IEC approvals, the GE SRPE60A 40 meets international safety and performance standards. This assures users of its reliability and quality, making it suitable for use in critical industrial applications where safety is of utmost importance.

The GE SRPE60A 40 is a circuit breaker rating plug that forms an integral part of GE’s industrial electrical control solutions. It is specifically designed for use within the GE Spectra series circuit breaker systems. This rating plug plays a crucial role in customizing the performance of circuit breakers to meet the specific current requirements of different industrial applications.
By installing the GE SRPE60A 40 rating plug, users can precisely set the continuous current rating of a breaker. It adjusts the per unit (1x) continuous current rating, similar to how an interchangeable trip unit functions in thermal – magnetic designs. The long – time trip value of the breaker frame will match the ampere rating on the SRPE60A 40 plug. This makes it an essential component for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of electrical systems in industrial settings, protecting equipment from overcurrent situations and maintaining stable power supply.

Application Field
In manufacturing plants, the GE SRPE60A 40 is widely used to protect machinery and equipment from electrical faults. For example, in a metalworking factory, it can be installed in circuit breakers that supply power to large – scale metal – cutting machines. By accurately setting the current rating and providing effective short – circuit protection, it ensures the smooth operation of these machines, minimizing downtime due to electrical failures. Power generation facilities also benefit from the SRPE60A 40. In a power plant, it can be used in the electrical distribution system to protect transformers, generators, and other critical electrical components. The ability to adjust the trip settings according to the specific power requirements of different equipment helps in maintaining the stability of the power generation and distribution process. Commercial buildings such as shopping malls and office complexes use the GE SRPE60A 40 in their electrical panels. It protects the electrical circuits that power lighting systems, HVAC units, and other electrical appliances. By preventing overcurrent situations, it helps in reducing the risk of electrical fires and ensures the continuous operation of essential services within the building.
