Description
Built for demanding industrial applications, the GE TB13100 is a 3-pole, 100A current limiting MCCB from the Tri-Break family. It provides reliable long-time and instantaneous thermal-magnetic protection. This unit-mount breaker installs into compatible GE switchboards and motor control centers. It features standard lugs that accept 14-1/0 AWG wire. Rated for 200kAIC at 480VAC, it utilizes integrally fused technology to restrict let-through energy and minimize stress on downstream components.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhy might the TB13100 arrive with ABB branding instead of GE?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Depending on the production date, this breaker may be labeled as either ABB or General Electric. Both versions share the exact same form, fit, function, and UL listings.
How does the Tri-Break design achieve a 200kAIC rating at 480VAC?
Tri-Break circuit breakers like the TB13100 incorporate internal, integrally fused current limiters. These limiters operate during severe short circuits to drastically reduce let-through energy, allowing the breaker to safely interrupt massive fault currents.
Are line and load lugs included with the TB13100?
Yes. While larger Tri-Break frames often require lugs to be purchased separately, the 15 to 100 amp TB1 frame comes factory assembled with both line and load lugs installed.
Where is the TB13100 typically installed?
This unit mount breaker is engineered for heavy duty industrial applications and is designed to integrate directly into compatible General Electric switchboards and motor control centers.
What is the primary advantage of using a current limiting breaker like the TB13100?
By restricting the peak let-through current during a fault, current limiting breakers minimize the thermal and mechanical stress placed on downstream conductors, motor controllers, and sensitive equipment.
