Engineered for commercial applications, the GE TE122090 provides robust overcurrent protection in a compact Q-Line frame. This 90A, two-pole molded case circuit breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. It mounts into GE A-Series panelboards using a secure bolt-on connection. For those maintaining older infrastructure, this unit serves as a reliable component, though it is replaced by the TEB122090 in newer setups. Rated for 10kAIC at 240VAC, it includes factory-installed lugs.
Which GE panelboards accept the TE122090 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is specifically engineered for integration into GE A-Series panelboards. It is also compatible with select GE Spectra Series panelboards and modular metering stacks that utilize E-Frame breakers.
What is the modern replacement for the legacy TE122090 breaker?
The TE122090 is an older TE-frame unit that has been officially replaced by the GE TEB122090. The TEB model serves as a direct, drop-in replacement for ongoing panel maintenance and upgrades.
What wire sizes are compatible with the terminals on the TE122090?
The factory-installed lugs accommodate 4 AWG to 3/0 AWG copper conductors, or 1 AWG to 3/0 AWG aluminum conductors. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
How does the trip mechanism function on this 2-pole breaker?
It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with an internal common trip mechanism. This ensures that an overcurrent or short circuit on one pole will automatically trip both poles, completely disconnecting the circuit.
Can the trip settings on the TE122090 be adjusted in the field?
No, this breaker features fixed long-time thermal and fixed instantaneous magnetic trip functions. The trip thresholds cannot be modified by the user.

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
