Product FAQs
7 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the TE132030 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is engineered specifically for General Electric A-Series commercial panelboards. It is not compatible with standard residential load centers that require plug-in THQL breakers.
What is the modern replacement for the GE TE132030?
The TE132030 is a legacy component. The direct modern replacement is the GE TEB132030, which shares the same physical dimensions, bolt-on mounting, and electrical ratings for A-Series panels.
What type of wire is compatible with the factory lugs?
The included lugs are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. They accept wire sizes ranging from 14 AWG to 8 AWG. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Can the TE132030 be used in direct current applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with a 5kA interrupting capacity, allowing it to be used in industrial DC control circuits and battery systems.
Does this breaker provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. The TE132030 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker that provides only overload and short-circuit protection. It does not contain GFCI or AFCI circuitry.
How does the TE132030 mount to the panelboard?
This unit utilizes a bolt-on connection. It must be mechanically bolted directly to the panelboard bus, providing a highly secure and vibration-resistant connection for commercial environments.

Review summary
Customers rate this product 4.8 out of 5 based on 4 reviews.
I have purchased several of these enclosures as part of a particular assembly I use.
The prices vary (as everything does) but are still reasonable and I typically am ordering my breaker and accessories needed so the one stop shopping is also convenient
