Which panelboards and switchboards are compatible with the TEL136070 breaker?

This bolt-on E-frame breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series panelboards, GE Spectra switchboards, and compatible motor control centers.

What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the lugs on this breaker?

The factory lugs accept copper wire from 3 AWG to 3/0 AWG, and aluminum wire from 1 AWG to 3/0 AWG.

Can the TEL136070 be used in direct current (DC) applications?

Yes, this thermal magnetic breaker is rated for DC systems. It provides up to 10kAIC 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. Depending on the manufacturing date, the TEL136070 may feature either GE or ABB branding, but the physical dimensions and electrical specifications remain identical.

What does the TEL prefix indicate in the GE catalog number?

The TEL prefix designates a high-interrupting capacity E-frame breaker. It offers a higher fault current rating than standard-tier E-frame models, providing 65kAIC at 480VAC and 100kAIC at 240VAC.

Does this breaker feature adjustable trip settings?

No, the TEL136070 features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. It does not offer adjustable long-time or instantaneous trip dials.
