Product FAQs
6 answers
What does the ST12 suffix mean on the TEY390ST12 part number?
The ST12 suffix indicates the breaker includes a factory-installed shunt trip. This accessory operates on a 120-277VAC control voltage, allowing the breaker to be opened remotely for emergency shutdowns or automated control.
Can I add a shunt trip to a standard TEY390 breaker in the field?
No. Internal accessories for GE TEY frame circuit breakers, including the ST12 shunt trip and auxiliary switches, are factory-installed only. You must purchase the breaker with the accessory already integrated.
Which panelboards accept the TEY390ST12 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is specifically designed for GE A-Series lighting panelboards. It utilizes a standard one-inch per pole width, maintaining compatibility with GE Q-Line systems.
Can the TEY390ST12 be used on ungrounded 480V delta systems?
No. The TEY390ST12 carries a slash voltage rating of 480Y/277VAC. This means it is strictly designed for use on solidly grounded wye systems and must not be installed on ungrounded or corner-grounded delta systems.
Will I receive a GE or ABB branded breaker when ordering the TEY390ST12?
You may receive either a GE or ABB branded unit. Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, the branding on the label may vary depending on the manufacturing date. Both versions are identical in form, fit, and function, and are fully interchangeable.
Does the TEY390ST12 provide equipment ground fault protection?
No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker equipped with fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not provide ground fault (GFPE or GFCI) or arc fault (AFCI) protection.
