Product FAQs
7 answersWhat enclosures are compatible with the TLB234175 breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in General Electric switchboards, motor control centers, and panelboards that accommodate the Tri-Break TLB2 frame.
What is the interrupting capacity of the TLB234175 at different voltages?
It provides an interrupting rating of 65kA at 240VAC and 50kA at 480VAC, making it suitable for high-fault commercial and industrial applications.
What wire gauge range is supported by the terminals on this breaker?
The standard line and load lugs accept conductors ranging from 4 AWG up to 300 kcmil. Ensure proper torque specifications are followed during installation.
Will I receive an ABB or GE branded breaker when ordering the TLB234175?
Because ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, this exact breaker may ship with either ABB or General Electric branding. Both versions share the same specifications and are fully interchangeable.
How is the TLB234175 mounted inside an electrical panel?
It features a bolt-on mounting configuration with a feed-thru connection, meaning it must be bolted directly to the bus system rather than snapping into place.
Are the trip settings adjustable on the TLB234175?
No, this breaker uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions are factory set and cannot be adjusted in the field.
What does the Tri-Break designation mean for this circuit breaker?
The GE Tri-Break family utilizes an integrally fused design to provide current-limiting protection, which helps minimize thermal and magnetic stress on downstream equipment during a short circuit.
