Product FAQs
7 answersWhat does the "WL" suffix mean on the TED124040WL circuit breaker?
The "WL" suffix indicates that the breaker comes factory-equipped with copper/aluminum (Cu/Al) lugs on both the line and load sides.
What is the difference between GE TED and THED circuit breakers?
The primary difference is the interrupting capacity. TED breakers have a standard interrupting rating, while THED breakers are high-interrupting versions designed for systems with higher available fault currents. Both utilize the same physical E150 frame size.
Is the TED124040WL suitable for reverse-feed applications?
Yes, GE TED frame molded case circuit breakers are suitable for reverse-feed installations, allowing them to be back-fed when required by the panel or enclosure design.
Can the TED124040WL be used for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this 40A breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration motor loads.
Is this breaker rated for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, the TED124040WL is rated for use in DC applications up to 250VDC, providing a 10kAIC interrupting capacity for DC circuits.
How does the TED124040WL mount into a panel?
This is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It bolts directly to the chassis or mounting pan of compatible GE A-Series panelboards, Spectra panelboards, or individual enclosures rather than plugging onto a busbar.
What wire sizes are compatible with the lugs on this 40A breaker?
The factory-installed lugs accept 14 to 3 AWG copper wire or 12 to 1 AWG aluminum wire.
