Description
Part of the GE E-Frame series, the TEL136030 is a 3-pole, 30A current-limiting molded case circuit breaker. It is designed for commercial and industrial facilities requiring high interrupting capacity and reliable thermal-magnetic trip functions. This breaker utilizes a unit mount configuration to install into GE A-Series panelboards and motor control centers. It is a direct substitute for TED136030 and THED136030 breakers. With a 65kAIC rating at 480VAC, it effectively limits fault currents.Specifications

Product FAQs
8 answersWhat equipment is compatible with the TEL136030 breaker?
This unit mount breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the TEL136030?
The standard lugs accept 14 to 3 AWG copper wire or 12 to 1 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Can the TEL136030 be used in DC circuits?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC applications. It provides an interrupting capacity of 10kA at both 250VDC and 500VDC.
What does the current limiting feature of the TEL136030 do?
As a current limiting breaker, it is designed to clear a fault in less than half a cycle. This reduces the peak let-through current and energy, protecting downstream equipment from severe thermal and magnetic stress.
Is the TEL136030 part of the GE E-Frame family?
Yes, the TEL frame is part of the legacy GE E-Frame molded case circuit breaker family. It shares the same physical footprint as TEB, TED, and THED breakers but offers higher interrupting ratings and current limiting capabilities.
How is the TEL136030 mounted?
This is a unit mount, bolt-on circuit breaker. It is secured directly to the equipment chassis or mounting pan using bolts, rather than snapping onto a DIN rail or busbar.
What trip functions are included in the TEL136030?
This thermal magnetic breaker features fixed long time and fixed instantaneous trip functions (LI). The long time function protects against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function clears short circuits.
Can I use the TEL136030 to replace a TED136030?
Yes, the TEL136030 has the same physical dimensions and mounting configuration as the TED136030. However, the TEL version provides a higher interrupting rating and current limiting protection. Verify that the higher rating meets your system coordination requirements.
