Product FAQs

7 answers
Can I install the TE13L020 in a standard residential load center?

No. The TE13L020 is a bolt-on, feed-thru molded case circuit breaker designed for commercial and industrial GE A-Series panelboards. It will not fit in standard residential plug-on load centers like GE PowerMark Gold.

Does the TE13L020 support 277V lighting circuits?

Yes, this breaker is rated for up to 277VAC, making it suitable for commercial 277V lighting and single-phase industrial loads. It provides a 14kA interrupting capacity at 277VAC.

Are the terminal lugs included with the TE13L020?

Yes, the breaker comes with factory-installed lugs that accept both copper and aluminum conductors. Ensure you torque the connections to the manufacturer's specifications when terminating the 14-10 AWG (Cu) or 12-10 AWG (Al) wire.

Can I adjust the trip settings on the TE13L020?

No, the thermal-magnetic trip unit on this breaker is fixed. The Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip functions are factory-calibrated for 20-amp protection and cannot be modified in the field.

What does a "feed-thru" connection mean for the TE13L020?

A feed-thru configuration means the breaker is equipped with lugs on both the line and load sides, rather than plugging into a busbar stab on one end. This allows for direct wire connections at both terminals, which is common in standalone enclosures and specific industrial control panels.

Why does my existing TE13L020 say General Electric, but new replacements say ABB?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. As a result, newer production runs of the TE-series breakers carry the ABB brand name. They are exact drop-in replacements for legacy GE-branded units and maintain the same UL listings.

Can the TE13L020 be used in DC applications?

Yes, this breaker is rated for 125VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for specific direct current control circuits and battery systems.

    Part of my go to assembly

    I have purchased several of these enclosures as part of a particular assembly I use.

    The prices vary (as everything does) but are still reasonable and I typically am ordering my breaker and accessories needed so the one stop shopping is also convenient
