Product FAQs

8 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the THED136050?

This breaker is designed for use in General Electric A-Series and Spectra Series panelboards. It uses a bolt-on connection and is not compatible with load centers that require standard plug-on breakers.

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

Both belong to the GE E150 line and share the same physical dimensions, but the H in THED designates a high-interrupting capacity. The THED136050 provides up to 25kAIC at 480VAC, whereas a standard TED breaker has a lower fault current rating, typically 18kAIC at 480VAC.

Can the THED136050 be back-fed or reverse-fed?

Yes, GE THED series molded case circuit breakers are suitable for reverse-feed applications. Always verify local electrical codes and ensure the breaker is properly labeled when back-feeding.

Can I replace a THED136050 with an Eaton or Square D breaker of the same physical size?

No. Even if the frame dimensions or amperage match, breakers are not interchangeable across manufacturers. You must use a GE or ABB E150 line breaker to maintain proper fitment and UL compliance in your GE panelboard.

Why is this breaker listed under both ABB and General Electric?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions. You may receive this breaker with either GE or ABB branding, but it is the exact same E150 line unit and is fully interchangeable in your existing panelboards.

Can I install a standard TED frame if my panel specifies a THED breaker?

No. If a THED breaker is specified, it means the available fault current at that location requires the higher interrupting rating. Installing a standard TED breaker could result in catastrophic failure during a short circuit.

Is the THED136050 rated for DC applications?

Yes, this breaker carries a DC rating. It is capable of safely interrupting up to 10kA at 250VDC and 10kA at 500VDC, making it suitable for certain battery or solar distribution setups.

How do I adjust the trip settings on the THED136050?

You cannot adjust the trip settings on this model. It features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and fixed instantaneous (LI) trip functions.

    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.
