Part of the Q-Line family, this 30-amp, two-pole miniature circuit breaker provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for commercial and industrial electrical systems. It mounts into GE A-Series lighting panelboards using a secure bolt-on connection, ensuring a stable fit for demanding environments. Rated for 14 kAIC at 480Y/277V and 65 kAIC at 120/240V, the unit features a common trip bar, quick-make/quick-break mechanism, and visual trip indication for enhanced safety and maintenance.
Which panelboards are compatible with the TEY230 circuit breaker?
This compact breaker is designed specifically for installation in ABB and General Electric A-Series lighting panelboards.
Is this breaker suitable for high-intensity discharge lighting?
Yes, this model carries a UL listing for high-intensity discharge (HID) applications, allowing it to safely control and protect HID lighting circuits.
Does the TEY230 carry an HACR rating?
Yes, this circuit breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
What is the recommended torque specification for the load lugs?
The manufacturer's recommended lug tightening torque for a 10 AWG conductor is 35 inch-pounds to ensure a secure electrical connection.
Does this breaker provide a visual trip indication?
Yes, it features an easy-to-spot visual trip indication. It also incorporates a quick-make and quick-break mechanism along with a common trip bar to ensure electrical safety and reliability.
Are there direct replacements with a higher interrupting capacity?
Yes, if your system requires a higher fault current rating than 14kA at 480Y/277VAC, the TEYF230 is a direct alternative offering an 18kA capacity. Additional high-interrupting equivalents include the TEYD, TEYH, and TEYL series frames.
Why is this breaker listed under both ABB and General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, which included their circuit breaker division. The TEY series is now manufactured under the ABB brand, but the breakers are identical in form, fit, and function to the legacy General Electric models.
Can this bolt-on breaker be used as a standalone unit outside of a panelboard?
Yes, while primarily designed to bolt onto A-Series panelboards, the TEY230 can be utilized in standalone applications as a lug-to-lug breaker by installing a separate TEY3B mounting base accessory.
Can I add a shunt trip or auxiliary switch to this breaker in the field?
No, internal accessories such as shunt trips, auxiliary switches, and bell alarms for the TEY series must be factory installed. They cannot be field-installed into a standard model after purchase.
