Product FAQs
7 answers
How should I use the 3A rating when selecting the General Electric TEC26003?
Select it for an application calling for a 3A breaker. Consider its instantaneous-only magnetic trip function along with the amperage when choosing overcurrent protection.
How do the voltage and interrupting ratings affect selection?
The breaker has a 600VAC voltage rating and a 10kA interrupting rating at 480VAC. For a 480VAC installation, available fault current must not exceed 10kA.
What does magnetic-only, instantaneous-only tripping mean in use?
Magnetic tripping responds to overcurrent without an intentional time delay. Choose this trip function for applications requiring instantaneous protection rather than delayed thermal overload protection.
What can I adjust on this breaker?
The magnetic trip setting is adjustable, allowing the instantaneous pickup threshold to be set for the application. This adjustment controls the current level that triggers magnetic tripping.
How do the two poles relate to its single-phase rating?
The two-pole construction provides two circuit paths for a single-phase application. Use both the pole count and the single-phase rating when selecting the breaker for the circuit arrangement.
What does unit mounting mean for installation?
Unit mounting means the breaker is mounted as an individual unit. Plan the installation around that mounting method and access to the line and load terminals.
How are incoming and outgoing conductors connected?
Lug connections are used on both the line and load sides. Terminate incoming conductors at the line-side lugs and outgoing conductors at the load-side lugs.
