Product FAQs

6 answers
Which panelboards accept the TE132070 circuit breaker?

This breaker is specifically designed for GE A-Series panelboards. It uses a bolt-on configuration, meaning it cannot be used in standard plug-on load centers.

What wire sizes are compatible with the factory lugs on the TE132070?

The included line and load lugs accept conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 1/0 AWG. Always verify local codes for proper wire sizing based on the 70A rating and ambient temperature.

What is the difference between the TE132070 and the TEB132070?

The TE132070 is frequently cross-referenced with the TEB132070. The TEB132070 is a newer substitute SKU within the GE Q-Line family that offers the same 70A, 3-pole configuration and panelboard compatibility.

What type of protection does the LI trip function provide on this breaker?

The LI designation indicates fixed thermal (Long-Time) and fixed magnetic (Instantaneous) trip functions. The thermal element protects against sustained overloads, while the magnetic element provides immediate tripping during severe short circuits.

Does this breaker require a specific mounting hardware kit?

As a unit-mount, bolt-on breaker, it fastens directly to the busbars of compatible A-Series panelboards. Ensure you use the correct mounting screws specified by the panelboard manufacturer to maintain a secure connection.

Is the TE132070 suitable for direct current systems?

Yes, this breaker carries a 250VDC rating alongside its standard AC ratings. This allows it to be deployed in commercial DC control panels and specific industrial equipment requiring a 70A disconnect.

    Part of my go to assembly

    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
