Product FAQs
6 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the GE TE32020 circuit breaker?
The GE TE32020 is specifically designed for installation in GE A-Series panelboards. It requires a bolt-on connection directly to the panelboard bus.
How is the TE32020 secured within the panelboard?
As a bolt-on breaker, the TE32020 fastens directly to the bus bars of a GE A-Series panelboard using mounting screws. This provides a highly secure mechanical and electrical connection compared to standard plug-in breakers.
What wire gauge range is supported by the TE32020 terminals?
The standard lug terminals on the TE32020 accept wire sizes from 14 AWG to 8 AWG. Ensure conductors are properly stripped and torqued to the specifications listed on the breaker label during installation.
Can the trip settings on the TE32020 be adjusted in the field?
No, this breaker uses a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit. It provides standard long time and instantaneous protection, but the trip curve parameters cannot be modified by the user.
Can the TE32020 be used in direct current applications?
Yes, while primarily used in 240V alternating current systems, the TE32020 is also rated for 250V direct current applications, where it provides a 5kA interrupting capacity.
What are the primary safety steps for installing a bolt-on breaker like the TE32020?
Always de-energize the panelboard before installation. Because bolt-on breakers require physical fastening to the bus bars, failing to disconnect the main power ahead of the panelboard poses a severe shock hazard.

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