Product FAQs
5 answersWhat equipment is compatible with the TFL236090 circuit breaker?
The TFL236090 is designed for use in GE A-Series panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers that accept legacy F-frame molded case circuit breakers.
How is the TFL236090 installed in a panelboard?
This breaker features a bolt-on connection. It mounts directly to the bus assembly in compatible GE enclosures using standard mounting hardware, ensuring a secure mechanical and electrical connection.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip on the TFL236090 operate?
The TFL236090 features a fixed thermal element for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for short-circuit protection. The magnetic trip can be set to high, low, or intermediate levels, allowing you to coordinate the breaker with motor inrush currents or specific fault-clearing requirements.
Is the GE TFL236090 a current or legacy product?
The TFL236090 is part of the legacy GE F-frame molded case circuit breaker family. While the original series is no longer in active production, exact replacements are sourced to maintain existing A-Series panelboards and switchboards without requiring a complete system retrofit.
What safety procedures should be followed when adjusting the magnetic trip on the TFL236090?
Always de-energize the breaker and the surrounding panel before making adjustments. Use the manufacturer-specified settings based on a coordination study to ensure the breaker clears short circuits rapidly without causing nuisance tripping during normal load inrush.
