Product FAQs
8 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the TFL236070 circuit breaker?
This Record Plus F-Frame breaker is designed for installation in GE A-Series panelboards, as well as compatible GE switchboards and motor control centers.
Is there a direct ABB replacement for the legacy GE TFL236070?
Yes. Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, the recommended upgrade path for this 70A breaker is the ABB SACE Tmax XT series, specifically catalog number XT4HU3070AFF000XXX.
Why might this breaker arrive with ABB branding instead of GE?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Depending on the manufacturing date, Record Plus TFL frame breakers may feature ABB branding, GE branding, or a combination of both. The form, fit, and function remain identical.
What size wire is accepted by the lugs on the TFL236070?
The included load-side lugs accept copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 300 kcmil. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
How does the trip unit on the TFL236070 operate?
It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element, allowing electricians to fine-tune the instantaneous short-circuit response.
How does the TFL236070 mount into the enclosure?
It utilizes a bolt-on, unit-mount connection. This provides a secure, vibration-resistant mechanical and electrical connection directly to the panelboard or switchboard chassis.
Can the TFL236070 be reverse fed?
Yes, this breaker features reverse feed capability. It can be wired in either direction without compromising its thermal-magnetic protective functions.
Is the TFL236070 HACR rated?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment circuits.
