Description
Rated 22 kAIC at 600VAC, this 70-amp molded case circuit breaker offers robust overcurrent protection for commercial facilities. The TF136070 is a classic F-frame unit equipped with standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions to safeguard heavy-duty electrical circuits. It mounts into older GE A-Series panelboards, switchboards, and MCCs. While this specific frame is a legacy component, it can be seamlessly substituted with modern TED136070 or THED136070 breakers if required.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhat equipment is the TF136070 designed to be installed in?
It is designed for branch or feeder circuit protection within GE A-Series panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers that accept legacy F-frame breakers.
Can the TF136070 be used in direct current (DC) applications?
Yes, it is rated for up to 250VDC with an interrupting capacity of 10kA, making it suitable for specific direct current circuits.
How does the TF136070 mount into the panel?
It features a bolt-on connection type, meaning it is mechanically fastened directly to the busbars in compatible GE enclosures to ensure a secure electrical connection.
Is the GE TF136070 still actively manufactured?
No, the TF136070 is a legacy F-frame molded case circuit breaker and has been discontinued by the manufacturer. It is primarily used for maintaining and servicing existing electrical systems.
What does the 22kAIC rating at 600VAC indicate for this breaker?
The 22kAIC rating means the breaker can safely interrupt up to 22,000 amps of fault current at 600VAC without sustaining catastrophic damage, protecting the downstream circuit from severe short circuits.
Are the trip settings on the TF136070 adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous trip functions are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
