Description

Built for demanding industrial environments, the GE TEL136100 delivers 100A of current-limiting protection across three poles. By rapidly clearing faults and reducing let-through energy, it minimizes thermal and magnetic stress on your electrical infrastructure. This thermal-magnetic MCCB is compatible with GE A-Series panelboards, Spectra switchboards, and motor control centers. It offers an impressive 65kAIC interrupting capacity at 480VAC and includes standard load lugs for termination.

Product FAQs

7 answers
Which panelboards and switchboards accept the TEL136100 circuit breaker?

This bolt-on MCCB is engineered for installation in GE A-Series panelboards, GE Spectra switchboards, and compatible motor control centers. It is not designed for use in standard residential load centers.

Why is the TEL136100 listed under both ABB and General Electric?

ABB acquired the General Electric Industrial Solutions division. Depending on the manufacturing date, your breaker may feature either GE or ABB branding, but the physical dimensions, fit, and technical specifications remain identical.

Are the trip settings on the TEL136100 adjustable?

No. This breaker utilizes a thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed thermal and fixed magnetic settings for long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. The trip points cannot be modified in the field.

How is the TEL136100 secured within an electrical enclosure?

It features a unit mount, bolt-on connection. The breaker must be bolted directly to the panelboard chassis or busbar, ensuring a secure mechanical and electrical connection suitable for high-fault industrial environments.

What frame class does the TEL136100 fall under?

It is part of the GE E-Frame family of molded case circuit breakers. While this specific model is rated for 100A, the E-Frame chassis supports a maximum rating of up to 150A.

What does the current limiting designation mean for the TEL136100?

As a current limiting circuit breaker, it is designed to clear severe short circuits extremely fast. This reduces the peak let-through current and thermal energy, minimizing potential damage to downstream electrical equipment.

What does the LI trip function code indicate on this breaker?

The LI designation means the breaker provides Long-Time (L) and Instantaneous (I) protection. The long-time function protects against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function trips immediately in the event of a short circuit.
