Description

Rated at 14 kAIC for 480V systems, this two-pole molded case breaker delivers consistent overcurrent protection for industrial facilities. The unit mounts into legacy GE A-Series panelboards and motor control centers using a secure bolt-on configuration. Often replaced by the newer TED124050, this original TEF series component maintains compatibility with older setups. It comes equipped with factory-installed TCAL12 lugs accepting 14-3 AWG copper or 12-1 AWG aluminum wiring.
