Product FAQs

6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the TEY240 circuit breaker?

This bolt-on breaker is designed specifically for use in GE A-Series lighting panelboards. It is not compatible with standard residential load centers that require plug-in or snap-in breakers.

What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the TEY240 terminals?

The factory-installed lugs accept 10 AWG to 4 AWG wire. Both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors are permitted. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation as outlined by the manufacturer.

Can the TEY240 be used in DC voltage applications?

Yes, this thermal magnetic breaker carries a DC rating of 250VDC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for specific direct current control circuits or battery systems alongside its standard AC ratings.

Is there a difference between the ABB TEY240 and the GE TEY240?

No. ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, so the TEY240 is manufactured to the exact same specifications. You may receive stock branded as either ABB or General Electric, but they are identical in form, fit, and function.

Does the TEY240 require a separate mounting hardware kit?

As a bolt-on breaker, it secures directly to the busbar of compatible A-Series panelboards using the integrated mounting screws. No separate mounting kit is required for standard installation.

What safety precautions apply when installing a bolt-on breaker like the TEY240?

Always de-energize the panelboard before installing or servicing bolt-on breakers. Because the breaker bolts directly to the busbar, working on live equipment poses a severe arc flash and shock hazard. Verify the power is off using a properly rated voltage detector.
