The "WL" suffix indicates that the circuit breaker is factory-supplied with both line and load side copper/aluminum (Cu/Al) lugs. Standard TEB breakers without this suffix typically include load lugs only.

Yes, TEB, TED, and THED breakers are all part of the GE E150 Line frame family and share the same physical dimensions. However, they have different interrupting ratings. The TEB is the standard version rated at 10kAIC at 240V, while the TED (18kAIC) and THED (65kAIC) offer higher fault current protection.

Yes. GE E150 Line breakers, including the TEB series, do not have Line and Load markings and are suitable for reverse feed installations.

Yes, all GE TEB series circuit breakers rated above 10 amps, including this 45A model, are UL listed for Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HACR) applications.

The TEB132045WL carries a dual 60/75 degree C temperature rating, which is standard for GE E150 Line breakers rated 100 amps and below.

As a unit-mount E150 Line breaker, it is designed to be bolted directly into GE industrial enclosures, switchboards, and motor control centers that are configured for E-frame breakers. It is not a plug-in breaker and will not fit standard residential load centers.

When the breaker trips due to an overcurrent or short circuit, the toggle handle moves to a center position midway between ON and OFF. To reset it, the handle must be pushed to the extreme OFF position before turning it back to ON.

Yes, the TEB132045WL features a trip-free mechanism that ensures the breaker will trip under overload or short circuit conditions, even if the operating handle is physically held in the ON position.
