ABB / General Electric TEB132020 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

This bolt-on breaker is specifically designed and UL-listed for installation in GE A-Series and Spectra Series panelboards. It is also compatible with GE switchboards and motor control centers configured to accept E150 frame breakers.

Yes. The GE TED and THED series breakers share the exact same E150 frame dimensions as the TEB series. You can substitute a 20A TED or THED breaker as a direct physical drop-in if your system requires a higher fault current rating, such as 18kAIC or 65kAIC at 240VAC.

Yes. Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, E150 frame breakers may carry either the GE or ABB brand name. They are manufactured to the exact same specifications, share the same UL listings, and are fully interchangeable in the field.

No. The TEB132020 is exclusively UL-listed for use in compatible GE enclosures, such as A-Series and Spectra Series panels. Installing it in a panelboard from another manufacturer violates NEC 110.3(B) and voids the UL listing.

The TEB132020 is a bolt-on circuit breaker. It fastens directly to the panelboard busbars using mounting screws, providing a secure, vibration-resistant connection. Always verify the panel is fully de-energized and follow standard torque specifications during installation.

Yes. GE TEB series breakers are suitable for reverse feed applications. Because the thermal-magnetic trip unit is fixed and non-directional, the breaker can be back-fed safely when required by the circuit design.
