Main Features and Advantages
Multi-layer protection capability: GE TP1610SSI RMS-9 LSI’s RMS-9 LSI trip unit offers three-tiered protection, with long-time settings preventing overload damage, short-time delay for selective coordination, and instantaneous trip for severe fault currents. This versatility ensures tailored protection for different equipment types, from sensitive PLCs to heavy-duty motors.
Exceptional interruption performance: GE TP1610SSI RMS-9 LSI achieves up to 85,000 RMS symmetrical amps of interruption at 240 VAC, outperforming standard breakers in its class. This high interrupting capacity (IC) quickly quenches fault currents, reducing arc flash hazards and minimizing thermal stress on electrical components.
Durable and adaptable design: Built with GE’s industrial-grade materials, GE TP1610SSI RMS-9 LSI withstands wide temperature fluctuations and harsh industrial environments. Its 1000 Amp rating and 600 VAC maximum voltage compatibility make it suitable for diverse applications, while the modular trip unit allows easy adjustment of protection settings without full unit replacement.
Application Fields
GE TP1610SSI RMS-9 LSI is indispensable in manufacturing facilities, where it protects the electrical distribution systems powering production lines, robotic workcells, and heavy machinery. In automotive assembly plants, for example, it safeguards welders, conveyor systems, and PLC controllers from short circuits, ensuring uninterrupted production and reducing maintenance costs.
Data centers rely on GE TP1610SSI RMS-9 LSI to protect critical power infrastructure, including UPS systems and server racks. Its precise trip settings prevent unnecessary shutdowns caused by transient currents, while the high interrupting capacity ensures rapid fault clearance to avoid data loss or equipment damage during electrical anomalies.
The product also excels in commercial and industrial buildings, such as shopping malls and healthcare facilities, where it manages power distribution for HVAC systems, lighting, and medical equipment. In wastewater treatment plants, GE TP1610SSI RMS-9 LSI protects pump motors and control panels from overloads, ensuring continuous operation of essential water processing systems. Its adaptability makes it a universal solution for any high-power electrical distribution scenario.

Installation and Maintenance
Installation preparation: Before installing GE TP1610SSI RMS-9 LSI, confirm the electrical panel has sufficient space (16″×12″×18″) and supports the breaker’s 135 lbs weight—reinforce mounting brackets if necessary. Verify the system voltage (480/600 VAC) and phase configuration (3-phase) match the breaker’s specifications, and ensure the power supply is locked out/tagged out to prevent electrical hazards. Familiarize yourself with the RMS-9 LSI trip unit’s terminal layout for proper wiring.
Maintenance recommendations: Conduct quarterly visual inspections of GE TP1610SSI RMS-9 LSI to check for loose connections, corrosion, or signs of overheating (discoloration). Test the trip unit annually using calibrated test equipment to verify long-time, short-time, and instantaneous settings. Clean the breaker’s contacts and ventilation slots yearly with compressed air to remove dust buildup. Document all maintenance activities and replace the trip unit if fault codes persist, ensuring GE TP1610SSI RMS-9 LSI maintains optimal protection performance.
