A reliable solution for commercial branch circuit protection, the GE TEYF120 is a single-pole, 20A thermal-magnetic breaker. Part of the Q-Line family, it supports reverse feed applications. Built for seamless integration, it installs into GE A-Series lighting panelboards. The bolt-on design ensures a secure connection. Rated at 18kAIC at 277V, this breaker carries HACR, HID, and SWD ratings, making it ideal for HVAC equipment, high-intensity discharge lighting, and switching duty.
Which panelboards accept the TEYF120 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is engineered for GE A-Series and ABB ReliaGear lighting panelboards. It can also be adapted for standalone lug-to-lug applications using a separate TEY3B mounting base.
What is the difference between standard TEY and TEYF breakers?
The difference lies in the short-circuit interrupting capacity. A standard TEY120 is rated for 14kA at 277VAC, whereas the TEYF120 provides an upgraded 18kA rating at the same voltage.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the lug terminals?
For the accepted wire sizes of 14 AWG to 10 AWG, the manufacturer specifies a terminal tightening torque of 35 in-lb.
Is it safe to backfeed or reverse feed the TEYF120?
Yes. TEYF series breakers are reverse-feed capable, meaning they can be safely wired with the supply power connected to either the line or load terminals.
Can this breaker handle direct current (DC) loads?
Yes. The TEYF120 carries a direct current rating of 125VDC, making it suitable for control circuits and other specific DC applications requiring up to a 10kA fault rating.
Why might this breaker arrive with ABB branding instead of GE?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. As a result, current production TEYF breakers are functionally identical but may feature ABB logos, GE logos, or dual branding depending on the manufacture date.
What are the direct upgrades if I need a higher interrupting capacity than 18kA?
If your panel requires a higher fault rating at 277VAC, you can install the TEYD120 (25kA), TEYH120 (35kA), or TEYL120 (65kA). These alternatives share the exact same physical dimensions and panelboard compatibility as the TEYF120.
