Yes, alongside its standard AC ratings, this breaker is certified for use in 250VDC systems with a 10kAIC interrupting capacity.

Does the TEF134020 allow for field-adjustable trip settings?

No, the thermal magnetic trip unit features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings for its long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. It cannot be adjusted in the field.

What type of fault protection does the TEF134020 provide?

It utilizes a thermal magnetic trip unit to provide both long-time thermal protection against overloads and instantaneous magnetic protection against short circuits.
