Engineered for high-fault environments, the GE TB13035 is a 3-pole, 35A current-limiting circuit breaker. It is designed for unit-mount installation within commercial motor control centers. Equipped with a fixed thermal-magnetic trip, it delivers reliable long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection while accommodating 14-1/0 AWG conductors. With a 200kAIC rating at 480VAC, this Tri-Break MCCB restricts let-through current to prevent damage to critical downstream infrastructure.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What type of enclosures or panels accept the TB13035 circuit breaker?
This unit mount breaker is designed for installation in GE switchboards and motor control centers. It requires a dedicated mounting setup rather than standard plug-in or bolt-on panelboard connections.
What wire sizes are compatible with the factory lugs on the TB13035?
The included lugs accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG. They are rated for use with both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors.
How does the Tri-Break current limiting design affect downstream protection?
The current limiting design of the TB1 series restricts peak let-through current during a short circuit. This reduces thermal and magnetic stress on downstream equipment, allowing for high interrupting ratings like 200kAIC at 480VAC.
Why is this breaker listed under both ABB and General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. The TB13035 is part of the legacy GE Tri-Break family, and newer production units may carry ABB branding while maintaining the exact same form, fit, and function.
Can the TB13035 be utilized in direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, this thermal magnetic breaker is rated for DC applications up to 250VDC, providing an interrupting capacity of 10kAIC for those specific installations.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the TB13035?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection parameters are factory set for 35 amps and cannot be modified in the field.
