Product FAQs
6 answers
Is the TEY215 breaker compatible with standard residential GE load centers?
No. The TEY215 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed specifically for GE A-Series lighting panelboards. It cannot be used in residential load centers, which typically require plug-in THQL or THQP breakers.
What is the difference between the TEY215 and the THQB2115?
Both are 15A, 2-pole bolt-on breakers for GE panels, but they target different system voltages. The TEY215 is rated for systems up to 480Y/277VAC at 14kAIC. The THQB2115 is limited to 120/240VAC at 10kAIC.
What is the recommended terminal tightening torque for the TEY215 lugs?
According to manufacturer specifications, the lug tightening torque is 35 in-lbs for 14 AWG to 10 AWG wire, and 40 in-lbs for 8 AWG wire.
Can the TEY215 be applied in DC control systems?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker carries a 250VDC rating with a 10kAIC interrupting capacity. This allows it to protect compatible direct current circuits as well as standard AC loads.
What does the LI trip function on the TEY215 provide?
The LI designation indicates Long-Time and Instantaneous trip capabilities. The fixed thermal element provides Long-Time protection against sustained overloads, while the fixed magnetic element provides Instantaneous protection for immediate tripping during short-circuit faults.
Does the TEY215 support DIN rail mounting in a control panel?
No. This breaker requires a bolt-on connection directly to the busbars of a GE A-Series panelboard or a dedicated GE Q-Line mounting base. It is not designed for DIN rail installations.
