The TEY140 is a compact, 1-inch wide per pole bolt-on circuit breaker manufactured by GE. Built for commercial and industrial environments, it provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for branch circuits. This 40A, single-pole breaker mounts into GE A-Series panelboards and features a non-interchangeable trip unit. Rated at 65 kAIC at 120VAC and 14 kAIC at 277VAC, it includes quick-make/quick-break mechanisms and is HACR and HID rated for versatile load handling.
Which panelboards are compatible with the GE TEY140 circuit breaker?
The TEY140 is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for GE A-Series lighting panelboards. It is not compatible with standard residential GE PowerMark load centers, which require plug-on Q-Line breakers.
How does the TEY140 mount into the panelboard?
This breaker utilizes a bolt-on connection. It secures directly to the busbar of a GE A-Series panelboard using a bolted joint, providing a stable, continuous connection suitable for heavy-duty commercial and industrial environments.
Can the TEY140 be used in DC applications?
Yes, the TEY140 is rated for use in DC systems up to 125VDC, where it provides a 10kA interrupting capacity. This makes it suitable for specific industrial control and distribution networks requiring direct current protection.
What safety features are built into the TEY140 trip mechanism?
The TEY140 features a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit with a quick-make/quick-break mechanism. It also includes an easy-to-spot visual trip indicator to ensure safety and reliability when identifying a faulted circuit.
How much panel space does the TEY140 require?
The TEY frame features a compact, 1-inch wide per pole design. As a 1-pole breaker, the TEY140 will occupy a single 1-inch space in your A-Series panelboard.
Why is the TEY140 listed under both ABB and General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions. As a result, TEY series breakers like the TEY140 may be branded as either GE or ABB. They are the exact same product, manufactured to the same specifications, and are fully interchangeable.
