Product FAQs

6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the TED136040 circuit breaker?

This E-frame breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series and GE Spectra Series panelboards. It requires a bolt-on connection to the bus.

What wire sizes are accepted by the standard lugs on the TED136040?

The factory lugs accept 14 to 3 AWG copper wire or 12 to 1 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.

Is the TED136040 suitable for direct current (DC) applications?

Yes, this breaker is rated for DC systems. It provides a 10kA interrupting capacity at both 250VDC and 500VDC.

Why is this breaker listed under both ABB and General Electric?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Legacy GE molded case circuit breakers, including the TED series E-frame, are now manufactured and supported under the ABB brand.

Can the trip settings on the TED136040 be adjusted in the field?

No, this breaker features a thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous trip functions. Neither the thermal nor the magnetic elements are adjustable.

How is the TED136040 secured within the panelboard?

It utilizes a bolt-on mounting style, requiring it to be bolted directly to the panelboard bus chassis rather than snapping into place.

    Perfect fit in an old (50 years) GE panel.

    We removed an un-used breaker and installed, this one, within 10 minutes.
