Product FAQs

8 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the TEYH2040B circuit breaker?

This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for use in GE A-Series lighting panelboards. It mounts directly to the panel bus for secure electrical connections in commercial and industrial applications.

Can I install this breaker in a standard residential load center?

No. The TEYH2040B is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker intended for commercial A-Series panelboards. It will not fit in standard residential plug-on or Q-Line load centers.

What is the difference between the TEY2040B and the TEYH2040B?

The H in the TEYH series indicates a higher interrupting rating. While a standard TEY breaker typically offers 14kAIC at 277/480VAC, the TEYH2040B provides a 35kAIC rating at the same voltage, making it suitable for systems with higher available fault currents.

Is this breaker suitable for direct current applications?

Yes, the TEYH2040B is rated for use in DC circuits up to 250VDC, where it provides an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC.

What type of wire can be used with the lugs on this 40A breaker?

The factory installed lugs accept both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 10 AWG to 4 AWG. Ensure you apply the correct torque specifications as listed on the breaker label during installation to prevent thermal issues.

Does this breaker require a specific mounting hardware kit?

The breaker bolts directly to the interior bus of an A-Series panelboard. Mounting screws are typically integrated or provided with the breaker, but you must ensure the panel interior is configured to accept TEY frame breakers.

Has the manufacturer for the TEYH2040B changed?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. As a result, you may see this exact breaker branded as either General Electric or ABB, but the physical dimensions, mounting style, and electrical performance remain identical.

What safety procedures should be followed before installing a bolt-on breaker?

Always de-energize the panelboard before installing or servicing bolt-on breakers. Verify the power is off using a properly rated voltage tester, and follow all OSHA lockout and tagout procedures to ensure the bus remains unpowered during installation.
