The GE TEYF115 is a single-pole, 15A thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed for commercial branch circuit protection. Part of the Q-Line family, it features a non-interchangeable trip unit. Engineered for reliable power distribution, it mounts into GE A-Series lighting panelboards. The bolt-on design ensures a secure connection.
What panelboards are compatible with the TEYF115 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for GE A-Series lighting panelboards. It is not compatible with standard residential PowerMark Gold load centers, which require plug-on Q-Line breakers.
Why might my TEYF115 breaker arrive with ABB branding instead of GE?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. As a result, TEYF series breakers are manufactured under both the GE and ABB brands. The form, fit, and function remain identical regardless of the logo on the label.
What does the F in the TEYF115 part number indicate?
In the GE TEY breaker family, the letter designates the interrupting capacity tier at 277VAC. The TEYF series provides an 18kAIC rating, which is a step up from the standard TEY series rated at 14kAIC.
How does the TEYF115 connect to the panelboard bus?
It utilizes a bolt-on mounting configuration. The breaker must be physically screwed into the panelboard busbar, providing a secure, vibration-resistant connection typical in commercial and industrial environments.
Can the TEYF115 be used in direct current applications?
Yes, this thermal magnetic breaker is rated for use in DC circuits up to 125VDC, where it provides a 10kAIC interrupting rating.
Can I use the TEYF115 to replace a standard TEY115?
Yes, the TEYF115 shares the same physical dimensions and bolt-on mounting as the standard TEY115. It can be used as a direct replacement or upgrade, offering a higher 18kAIC interrupting rating at 277VAC compared to the 14kAIC rating of the base TEY model.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the TEYF115?
The integrated load lugs accept copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 10 AWG. Ensure you apply the correct torque specifications listed on the breaker label during installation.
What type of trip mechanism does the TEYF115 use?
It features a non-interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit. The thermal component provides delayed protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component offers instantaneous protection against short circuits.
Is the TEYF115 suitable for 480Y/277V systems?
Yes, it is specifically designed for use on grounded 480Y/277VAC systems, making it a standard choice for commercial lighting and branch circuit distribution.
