Product FAQs
5 answers
Which GE equipment is compatible with the TB13050BWE09 circuit breaker?
This unit mount breaker is designed for installation in GE switchboards, motor control centers, and GE A-Series panelboards.
What makes the TB13050BWE09 a current limiting breaker?
It includes built-in current limiters that allow it to safely interrupt massive fault currents. This protects downstream circuits and equipment from severe thermal and magnetic stress during a short circuit.
Are the line and load lugs included with this breaker?
Yes, the breaker comes complete with factory-installed line and load side lug terminals, ready for standard feed-thru unit mounting.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on this 50A breaker?
The included lugs accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG. They are rated for use with both copper and aluminum conductors.
Can the trip settings on the TB13050BWE09 be adjusted in the field?
No. This breaker features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous (LI) settings.
