Product FAQs
6 answersWhich electrical panels are compatible with the GE TE122070?
This TE frame breaker is engineered exclusively for GE A-Series panelboards. Because it utilizes a bolt-on connection, it cannot be installed in standard residential load centers that require plug-on or snap-in breakers.
What type of conductors can be landed on the TE122070 terminals?
The integrated lugs accept both copper (4 AWG to 3/0 AWG) and aluminum (1 AWG to 3/0 AWG) wire. Always apply an approved oxide inhibitor when terminating aluminum conductors to prevent corrosion and ensure a secure connection.
Are the trip settings on the TE122070 adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time (overload) and instantaneous (short circuit) protection thresholds are factory-set and cannot be modified in the field.
Is the TE122070 rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, while primarily used in 120/240VAC or 240VAC systems, this breaker is also certified for 250VDC applications, providing a 5kA interrupting capacity for DC circuits.
Does the TE122070 require a separate mounting kit for installation?
No, the TE122070 is a unit mount breaker that bolts directly to the bus of a compatible GE A-Series panelboard. No additional mounting hardware kits are required for standard installation.
What does the LI designation mean on the TE122070 trip unit?
The LI code indicates that the breaker provides Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) trip functions. The long-time function protects against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function clears severe short circuits.
