Description
Designed for heavy-duty motor control and industrial environments, this 20A current-limiting MCCB delivers superior electrical safety. The breaker mounts into standard GE switchboards and motor control centers, offering a robust unit-mount connection. Featuring a massive 200kAIC interrupt rating at 480VAC, the integrally fused Tri-Break design effectively restricts let-through current to protect downstream equipment from severe electrical faults.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhat type of equipment is the TB13020 designed to be installed in?
This unit mount breaker is designed for installation in GE switchboards and motor control centers. It is not intended for standard residential load centers.
What does the current limiting designation mean for the TB13020?
As a Tri-Break series current limiting breaker, it is designed to clear faults extremely fast. This reduces the peak let-through current and energy, providing enhanced protection for downstream electrical components.
What wire sizes are compatible with the standard lugs on this breaker?
The included lugs accept wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 1/0 AWG. You can use either copper or aluminum conductors.
Why is this breaker listed as both ABB and General Electric?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions. Depending on the manufacturing date, the TB13020 may feature either GE or ABB branding, but the physical dimensions and electrical specifications remain identical.
Can the TB13020 be used in direct current applications?
Yes, this thermal magnetic breaker is rated for DC use up to 250VDC, where it provides a 10kA interrupting capacity.
Does this breaker require a specific mounting hardware kit?
The TB13020 is a unit mount breaker, meaning it bolts directly to the mounting surface or backpan rather than snapping onto a busbar. You will need the appropriate bolts for your specific switchboard or MCC backpan.
