Functional Description

TEB132020 is a Circuit Breaker developed by General Electric. With features like reverse feed compatibility, flexible mounting, and the ability to handle fault currents up to 10kA. Circuit breakers detects abnormal conditions in an electrical circuit, such as an overload or short circuit. When a fault is detected, the breaker trips to stop the flow of current. Various mechanisms inside a circuit breaker enable it to do this, including thermal (heat-sensitive) and magnetic (instantaneous) triggers.

Circuit Breaker Specifications

The Breaker is part of General Electric's E150 Series, which includes a range of circuit breakers, molded case switches, and magnetic circuit breakers, all designed to deliver high-performance protection for electrical systems. The product line offers devices rated up to 150 Amps and 600 Volts AC, catering to a variety of applications that require circuit protection.

• Thermal Magnetic Operation: The TEB132020 employs a thermal magnetic trip mechanism that provides two distinct protection features:
• Thermal Protection: Monitors the flow of current and trips the breaker in case of prolonged overload conditions, allowing circuits to operate without unnecessary interruptions under short-term overloads.
• Magnetic Protection: Responds instantly to short circuits by tripping the breaker without delay, preventing damage to equipment and wiring.
• Breakers and Switches: Equipped with Cu/Al line and load lugs for secure, flexible wiring connections. These lugs are ideal for both copper and aluminum conductors, increasing the versatility of these circuit breakers in various electrical configurations.

Product Attributes

• Reverse Feed Capability: One of the standout features is its suitability for reverse feed applications. Reverse feed compatibility ensures that the breaker can be used effectively in both traditional and non-standard wiring setups, offering flexibility in system design and installation.
• Temperature Rating: Designed to operate in environments with temperature ratings up to 60/75°C for circuits up to 100 amperes and 75°C for circuits above 100 amperes, making it suitable for most general electrical applications.
• Amperage Rating: The 20A amperage rating makes it suitable for circuits requiring protection for up to 20 amps of current. This is ideal for smaller loads, such as lighting circuits or equipment that requires medium-level protection.
• Mounting and Installation: It is a bolt-on type circuit breaker, making it easy to install in electrical panels. It provides secure connections and can be quickly integrated into various electrical systems. This bolt-on feature allows for an efficient installation process, ensuring both reliability and ease of maintenance.
• Catalog and Suffix Information: The E150 product line includes catalog numbers that reference the complete breaker or switch. The WL catalog suffix indicates the inclusion of Cu/Al line and load lugs.
  TEB132020 specifically refers to a 3-pole, 240V breaker with an interrupting capacity of 10kA at 240V, making it an effective choice for high-demand environments requiring robust circuit protection.
