Product FAQs
8 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the TEY170 breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for GE A-Series panelboards, including AE lighting panels. It is not compatible with residential PowerMark Gold load centers.
Can I install the TEY170 in a standard residential GE load center?
No. The TEY170 is a bolt-on breaker for commercial A-Series panelboards. Standard residential GE load centers require plug-in breakers like the THQL or THQP series.
What type of wire can be used with the TEY170 terminals?
The factory-installed lug terminals accept both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 1/0 AWG.
How does the interrupting capacity (AIC) vary by voltage for this breaker?
The breaker provides a high interrupting rating of 65kA at 120VAC. This rating decreases to 14kA at 240VAC or 277VAC, and 10kA when used in 125VDC systems.
Can the TEY170 be used in direct current (DC) circuits?
Yes, this breaker is rated for DC applications up to 125VDC, where it provides a 10kA interrupting rating.
Why might my TEY170 breaker arrive with ABB branding instead of GE?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. As a result, newly manufactured TEY series breakers may feature ABB branding, GE branding, or both, but they remain the exact same form, fit, and function.
Does the TEY170 include ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker that provides basic long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection against overloads and short circuits. It does not have GFCI or AFCI capabilities.
Does this breaker mount onto a DIN rail?
No, the TEY170 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker that secures directly to the busbar of an A-Series panelboard using mounting screws.
