ABB / General Electric THED136100 Molded Case Circuit Breaker

The THED136100 is designed for use in GE A-Series panelboards, GE Spectra Series panelboards, and motor control centers.

Yes. Like most legacy GE TEB, TED, and THED circuit breakers in the E150 frame family, this unit does not have line and load restrictions and is suitable for reverse feed applications.

The primary difference is the short-circuit interrupting capacity. THED breakers are the high-tier version of the GE E150 line, offering a higher AIC rating than standard TED breakers at the same operating voltage.

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions. As a result, legacy GE molded case circuit breakers like the THED series are now manufactured, tested, and supported under the ABB brand.

Yes, it is rated for direct current applications. It can safely interrupt faults up to 10kA in both 250VDC and 500VDC electrical systems.

The WL suffix on GE E150 line catalog numbers explicitly indicates that the breaker comes factory-equipped with line and load lugs for copper and aluminum wire. This base catalog number also includes those standard lug connections.

The LI designation means the breaker provides Long-Time (L) thermal protection against gradual overloads and Instantaneous (I) magnetic protection to immediately clear short circuits. Both of these trip levels are fixed at the factory and cannot be field-adjusted.

The THED136100 utilizes a bolt-on mounting configuration. It secures directly to the panel bus with threaded fasteners, which provides a rigid and reliable electrical connection required for commercial and industrial distribution equipment.
