Product FAQs

7 answers
What does the WL suffix mean on the TEB122040WL catalog number?

The WL suffix indicates that the circuit breaker comes equipped with factory-installed line and load lugs.

Is this a General Electric or ABB circuit breaker?

General Electric's industrial circuit breaker division was acquired by ABB. Depending on the manufacturing date, the TEB122040WL may feature either GE or ABB branding, but the physical dimensions and performance specifications remain identical.

Can the TEB122040WL be reverse fed?

Yes, this E150 frame circuit breaker is suitable for reverse feed applications in industrial settings.

Is the TEB122040WL suitable for HVAC equipment?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it appropriate for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications.

What frame family does this breaker belong to?

The TEB122040WL is part of the legacy GE E150 frame family of molded case circuit breakers.

Are the trip settings adjustable on the TEB122040WL?

No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit trip functions are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.

How is a unit-mount breaker like the TEB122040WL installed?

As a unit-mount breaker, it bolts directly to a mounting surface or panel backplate rather than snapping onto a busbar. It is designed for feed-thru wiring in standalone enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers.

    Works fine.

    Put this in the machine and within 20 minutes hand it up and running again. Just wish I could return the one we took out for refurbishing, instead of trying to dispose of it in electronic waste or sending it to a landfill
