Product FAQs
6 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the TE132040 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is specifically designed for installation in GE A-Series panelboards.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the TE132040?
The included lugs accept 14 to 3 AWG copper (Cu) conductors or 12 to 1 AWG aluminum (Al) conductors.
How does the TE132040 mount into the electrical panel?
It utilizes a bolt-on connection, meaning the breaker terminals must be mechanically bolted directly to the panelboard busbar for a secure, high-vibration resistant installation.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?
The thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers Long-Time (L) protection to prevent damage from sustained overloads, along with Instantaneous (I) protection to quickly clear short-circuit faults.
Why might this GE circuit breaker arrive with ABB branding?
Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, Q-Line breakers like the TE132040 may feature either GE or ABB labeling. Both versions are manufactured to the same specifications and are fully interchangeable.
Can the TE132040 be used in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, in addition to its standard alternating current applications, this breaker is rated for use in 250VDC electrical systems.
