Product FAQs
5 answersWhich panelboards and enclosures are compatible with the TJ236175?
This J-frame breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series panelboards, J-Line enclosures, motor control centers, and switchboards. It requires the appropriate bolt-on mounting hardware specific to the enclosure type.
What wire sizes are supported by the standard lugs on this breaker?
The standard lugs accept either a single conductor ranging from 6 AWG to 600 kcmil (Cu/Al) or dual conductors ranging from 2/0 AWG to 250 kcmil (Cu/Al). This dual-wire capacity is useful for parallel feeds.
Is the TJ236175 suitable for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, it is rated for DC applications up to 500VDC with an interrupting capacity of 20kAIC at both 250VDC and 500VDC.
Can the thermal or magnetic trip settings be adjusted on this model?
No, the TJ236175 features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. If adjustable trip settings are required, a different frame or trip unit configuration must be selected.
Why might this breaker arrive with ABB branding instead of General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. As a result, newly manufactured TJ-frame breakers may feature ABB branding, but they retain the exact same physical dimensions, ratings, and UL listings as the legacy GE models.
