Product FAQs
6 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the TE132050 circuit breaker?
This breaker is specifically designed for installation in GE A-Series panelboards. The bolt-on connection ensures a secure fit to the busbar, making it suitable for commercial and industrial distribution systems.
What are the interrupting ratings for the TE132050 in AC and DC systems?
The breaker provides a 10kAIC rating at 240VAC and a 5kAIC rating at 250VDC. It also carries a maximum interrupting rating of 22kA at 240V. Always verify the available fault current at the panel before installation.
What wire gauges are supported by the TE132050 terminal lugs?
The load lugs accommodate copper conductors from 14 AWG to 3 AWG and aluminum conductors from 12 AWG to 1 AWG. Electricians should apply an approved oxide inhibitor when terminating aluminum wiring.
How does the trip unit operate on the TE132050?
It utilizes a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit. The fixed thermal element provides long-time overload protection, while the fixed magnetic element delivers instantaneous short-circuit protection.
Why is the TE132050 listed under both ABB and General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, meaning legacy GE breakers like the TE132050 are now manufactured under the ABB brand. The physical footprint, mounting, and panel compatibility remain exactly the same.
Does the TE132050 require a specific mounting method?
Yes, it requires a bolt-on connection. Unlike plug-on breakers, bolt-on units are fastened directly to the panelboard bus, providing a highly secure connection that resists loosening from thermal cycling or vibration.
