Product FAQs
8 answersIs the TEL136060 compatible with standard GE residential load centers?
No, this E-frame breaker is designed for commercial and industrial applications. It is compatible with GE A-Series panelboards, Spectra switchboards, and motor control centers, but will not fit in standard Q-Line residential load centers.
Can I use the TEL136060 to upgrade from a TED or THED breaker?
Yes, the TEL136060 shares the same E-frame physical dimensions as standard TED and THED breakers but offers a higher interrupting capacity. This makes it a suitable drop-in upgrade for systems requiring enhanced short-circuit protection.
Why is this breaker listed under both ABB and General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, meaning legacy GE circuit breakers like the TEL series are now manufactured and supported under the ABB brand umbrella. The physical design and panel compatibility remain unchanged.
What type of wire can be used with the factory lugs on this breaker?
The standard lugs on the TEL136060 are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. They accept wire sizes ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG. Ensure proper torque specifications are applied during installation.
How does the TEL136060 mount into a panelboard?
This is a unit-mount, bolt-on circuit breaker. It requires bolted connections to the busbar and is not compatible with plug-on or snap-in load centers.
Are the trip settings on the TEL136060 adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection levels are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
Is this breaker suitable for direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, the TEL136060 carries a DC interrupting rating of 10kA at both 250VDC and 500VDC, allowing it to be used in specific direct current distribution systems.
Does the TEL136060 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker designed for basic long-time and instantaneous (LI) overcurrent and short-circuit protection. It does not include built-in equipment ground fault (GFPE) or arc fault (AFCI) capabilities.
