Product FAQs
7 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the TEY245?
This breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series commercial panelboards, including AQ, AE, AL, and AD lighting panels. It mounts directly to the busbar using a bolt-on connection.
Can I install the TEY245 in a standard GE PowerMark Gold load center?
No. The TEY245 is a bolt-on circuit breaker for commercial A-Series panelboards. It will not fit into residential PowerMark Gold or Plus load centers, which require plug-on THQL or THQP breakers.
What is the recommended lug tightening torque for the TEY245?
The torque depends on the wire size used. For 10 AWG wire, torque to 35 in-lb. For 8 AWG wire, torque to 40 in-lb. For 6 AWG to 4 AWG wire, torque to 45 in-lb.
Can this breaker be used in a 480V Delta system?
No. The TEY245 has a slash rating of 480Y/277V, meaning it is only suitable for solidly grounded wye systems where the voltage to ground does not exceed 277V. It is not rated for ungrounded or corner-grounded 480V Delta systems.
Is the TEY245 suitable for direct current applications?
Yes, this breaker carries a DC interrupting rating of 10kA at 250VDC, making it suitable for specific direct current circuits.
Is there a higher interrupting capacity version of the TEY245?
Yes. If your application requires a higher fault current rating at 480Y/277V, you can use the TEYF245 for 18kAIC or the TEYL245 for 65kAIC.
Does the TEY245 mount to a standard DIN rail?
No, the TEY245 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed specifically to bolt directly to the busbar in compatible GE panelboards. It does not have a DIN rail mounting clip.
