Product FAQs
5 answersWhat hardware is required to mount the TFJ224225 in a panelboard?
The TFJ224225 mounts into GE A-Series panelboards, Spectra panelboards, and switchboards using a bolt-on connection. You will need the specific F-frame mounting hardware kit, such as a strap or bus kit, designed for your exact panelboard enclosure.
Are the lugs on the TFJ224225 rated for both copper and aluminum conductors?
Yes, the factory-installed lugs are dual-rated for copper and aluminum wire ranging from 4 AWG to 300 kcmil. Always apply an appropriate oxide inhibitor when terminating aluminum conductors and torque to the specifications printed on the breaker faceplate.
What is the advantage of the adjustable magnetic trip on the TFJ224225?
The adjustable magnetic element allows electricians to modify the instantaneous short-circuit trip threshold. This flexibility helps coordinate the breaker with downstream devices and prevents nuisance tripping from motor inrush currents, while the fixed thermal element provides consistent overload protection.
Will an ABB-branded TFJ224225 fit in a legacy GE panelboard?
Yes. Since ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, the TFJ224225 is manufactured to the exact same F-frame specifications. An ABB-branded unit is a direct, drop-in replacement for a legacy GE-branded unit in A-Series and Spectra panelboards.
What precautions are necessary when using the TFJ224225 in a 250VDC system?
While the breaker is rated for 250VDC at 10kAIC, DC arcs are more difficult to extinguish than AC arcs. Installers must wire the poles in series according to the manufacturer's DC wiring diagrams to ensure the breaker can safely interrupt a direct current fault.
