Product FAQs
5 answers
What makes the TB13100AW a current-limiting breaker?
The TB13100AW is part of the GE Tri-Break series, which utilizes factory-assembled internal current limiters. These limiters restrict peak let-through current during severe faults, enabling the breaker to achieve a 200kA interrupting capacity at 480VAC.
What equipment is the TB13100AW designed to be installed in?
This unit-mount breaker is compatible with GE switchboards, motor control centers, and GE A-Series panelboards. Verify that your specific enclosure is provisioned for TB1 frame current-limiting breakers before installation.
Does the TB13100AW require separate lug kits for installation?
No, the TB13100AW comes factory-assembled with both line and load side lug terminals. These standard lugs accept 14 to 1/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
Is the trip unit on the TB13100AW field-adjustable?
No, this breaker is equipped with a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit trip functions are fixed and cannot be adjusted in the field.
What does the complete TB13100AW catalog number include?
The TB13100AW product number specifies a complete, factory-assembled Tri-Break TB1 unit. This includes the 100A breaker frame, the fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit, internal current limiters, and the line and load lugs.
