ABB / General Electric TEB132035 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

This breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series panelboards, switchboards, motor control centers, and individual enclosures that accept E-frame bolt-on breakers.

TEB, TED, and THED breakers share the same physical E-frame dimensions and mountings. However, the TEB132035 has a 10kAIC rating at 240VAC. TED and THED models have higher interrupting capacities. You can only substitute a TEB if your system fault current requirements do not exceed 10kAIC.

The LI designation indicates a thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection. The long-time function protects against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function trips immediately during a short circuit. Both settings are fixed on this breaker.

For the standard lugs, torque the connections to 35 in-lb for 14-10 AWG wire, 100 in-lb for 8-3 AWG wire, and 150 in-lb for 2-1 AWG aluminum wire. Use a 7/32-inch Allen wrench and apply an approved joint compound when terminating aluminum conductors.

No. The TEB132035 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed specifically to bolt directly to the busbars in compatible GE panelboards and switchboards. It does not support DIN rail mounting.

Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for specific direct current circuits as well as standard 240VAC systems.

Yes, GE TEB, TED, and THED series breakers are suitable for reverse feed applications, meaning line and load connections can be swapped if required by your panel configuration.

Yes, GE TEB series breakers 15 amps and higher, including the 35A TEB132035, are UL listed as HACR type for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Legacy GE breakers like the TEB series are now manufactured and supported by ABB. They retain their original GE catalog numbers and physical specifications to ensure direct compatibility with existing GE equipment.
