Product FAQs
9 answers
Are there higher interrupting capacity versions of the TEY345 available?
Yes. If your system requires a higher interrupting rating at 480Y/277VAC, you can upgrade to the TEYF (18kA), TEYD (25kA), TEYH (35kA), or TEYL (65kA) series circuit breakers.
Will the TEY345 come branded as ABB or General Electric?
Because ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, TEY series circuit breakers may feature either ABB or GE branding. Regardless of the logo printed on the front, they are manufactured to the exact same specifications and are fully interchangeable.
Can the TEY345 be used as a standalone breaker outside of a panelboard?
Yes. While primarily designed as a bolt-on branch breaker for GE lighting panels, it can be utilized in unit-mount or lug-to-lug installations when paired with the proper three-pole mounting base accessory.
Can the TEY345 be applied in direct current circuits?
Yes. In addition to its standard AC ratings, this breaker is rated to interrupt up to 10kA in 250VDC systems, making it suitable for select direct current applications.
Does the TEY345 mount to a standard DIN rail?
No. This is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed specifically for bolted busbar connections in GE panelboards or specialized mounting bases. It will not clip onto a standard DIN rail.
Does the TEY345 require specialized lugs for aluminum wire?
No. The factory lugs on this breaker are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 10 AWG to 4 AWG, eliminating the need for separate hardware.
Is the TEY345 suitable for reverse feeding?
Yes. TEY series breakers are standard without line and load markings, making them suitable for reverse-feed applications where power is supplied to the lower terminals.
What is the physical width of the TEY345 breaker?
TEY series breakers feature a compact design with a 1-inch per-pole spacing, making this three-pole breaker approximately 3 inches wide overall. This compact form factor helps optimize available panel space.
Can the TEY345 be used on a 480V ungrounded Delta system?
No. The TEY345 is a slash-rated circuit breaker (480Y/277VAC). It is only suitable for use on solidly grounded Wye systems and must not be applied on ungrounded or corner-grounded Delta systems.
