Product FAQs
6 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the TEYF3100 circuit breaker?
The TEYF3100 is designed specifically for use in GE A-Series lighting panelboards. It features a bolt-on mounting design that connects directly to the panelboard bus.
What is the difference between GE TEY and TEYF circuit breakers?
The difference lies in the short-circuit interrupting rating at 480Y/277VAC. Standard TEY breakers are rated at 14kAIC, while TEYF breakers offer a higher interrupting capacity of 18kAIC at 480Y/277VAC. Both share the exact same physical dimensions and mounting footprint.
What is the recommended lug tightening torque for the TEYF3100?
For the factory-installed lugs, the required tightening torque depends on the wire size. Torque 4 AWG wire to 45 in-lb, and 3 AWG through 1/0 AWG wire to 50 in-lb.
Why might this breaker arrive with ABB branding instead of General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, meaning current production of this breaker may carry either the ABB or GE logo. Regardless of the branding, the TEYF3100 is the exact same component manufactured to the original GE specifications.
Can the TEYF3100 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this thermal-magnetic breaker is UL listed for direct current systems up to 250VDC, making it suitable for specific non-alternating current installations.
Is the TEYF3100 HACR rated?
Yes, like most breakers in the GE TEY family, the TEYF3100 is UL listed for HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) applications.
