Designed specifically for commercial lighting control, this 20-amp single-pole component carries both SWD and HID ratings. It handles the unique inrush currents associated with high-intensity discharge fixtures while providing standard thermal-magnetic protection. The unit fastens firmly into GE A-Series, AE, and AS lighting panelboards. Its load lugs accommodate 14 to 10 AWG copper wiring for standard branch circuits. Featuring a 65kAIC rating at 120VAC, it delivers robust fault clearing.
Which panelboards accept the TEY120 circuit breaker?
This breaker bolts directly into GE A-Series, AE, and AS Lighting Panelboards.
Is the GE TEY120 manufactured by ABB?
Yes. Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, TEY series breakers are manufactured under the ABB brand but remain exact replacements for legacy GE panelboards.
Is the TEY120 certified for switching duty?
Yes. The breaker carries an SWD rating, meaning it is approved for regular switching of fluorescent lighting circuits.
Can the TEY120 handle High-Intensity Discharge lighting?
Yes. It is HID rated, ensuring it can withstand the high inrush currents typical of high-intensity discharge fixtures without nuisance tripping.
Is the TEY120 suitable for HVAC loads?
Yes. The breaker is HACR rated, making it compliant for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment requiring group motor protection.
Can this breaker be installed in DC voltage systems?
Yes. In addition to commercial AC lighting voltages, the TEY120 is rated for use in 125VDC systems with a 10kA interrupting capacity.
What wire materials and sizes are accepted by the TEY120 load lugs?
The terminals accept copper conductors from 14 to 10 AWG and aluminum conductors from 12 to 10 AWG.
How is the TEY120 mounted outside of a panelboard?
While designed as a bolt-on branch breaker for GE lighting panels, it can be converted for standalone lug-to-lug applications by installing a compatible TEY mounting base accessory.
