Description

A drop-in solution for GE A-Series and Spectra Series panelboards, the THED124050 is a 50-amp, two-pole molded case circuit breaker. It utilizes fixed thermal and magnetic trip elements to protect commercial and industrial branch circuits. Delivering a high interrupting capacity of 65 kAIC at 240VAC and 25 kAIC at 480VAC, it ensures robust fault protection. This E-frame breaker is also fully backward compatible, serving as a direct upgrade for the lower-rated TED124050.

Product FAQs

6 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the THED124050 circuit breaker?

This bolt-on breaker is designed for direct installation into the busbars of GE A-Series and Spectra Series panelboards, as well as compatible motor control centers used in commercial and industrial power systems.

Can the THED124050 be used to replace an older TED124050 breaker?

Yes. The THED124050 shares the same physical E150 frame dimensions as the standard TED124050 but offers a higher interrupting capacity, making it a direct, backward-compatible upgrade.

What is the difference between GE TED and THED circuit breakers?

Both belong to the E150 frame family and are physically interchangeable. The THED series is the high-interrupting version, offering greater fault current protection compared to the standard TED series.

Does the THED124050 support reverse feeding?

Yes, GE E150 frame breakers, including the THED series, are suitable for reverse feed applications.

How is trip indication displayed on this E-frame breaker?

When the breaker trips, the operating handle moves to a center position midway between ON and OFF. To reset the mechanism, the handle must be pushed to the extreme OFF position before being turned back ON.

Does holding the operating handle in the ON position prevent the THED124050 from tripping?

No. The breaker features a trip-free mechanism that operates independently of the manual handle, ensuring it will still trip during an overload or short circuit even if the handle is physically held in the ON position.

    Breakers and more....

    I believe I have left several reviews for SuperBreakers, all with praise on the quality of their product, their friendly and knowledgeable staff, and superb pricing, and this review is no different. I have yet to be let down or disappointed by their products or team members. Top notch all around! Once you use them, you will see how valuable a resource they really are to have in almost any situation that requires breakers or any type of motor control or switch gear.
