Circuit Breaker for GE AE Lighting Panels

The GE TEY230 is a 30 A molded case circuit breaker designed for bolt-on installation in GE AE lighting panels. It provides standard thermal magnetic protection for single-phase circuits in commercial and industrial electrical systems. Electrical contractors and panel builders select this breaker for compatible GE panelboard applications.

Bolt-On Mounting and Lug Terminals Simplify

The bolt-on mounting style secures the breaker directly to the panelboard bus, while the lug terminal connection accepts standard wire terminations without additional accessories. Fixed instantaneous trip at 575 A and a 14 kA interrupting rating at 277/480 V AC are factory-set, so no field adjustments are required.

277/480 V AC Rating Determines Panel Compatibility

This breaker carries a maximum AC voltage rating of 277/480 V AC and a DC rating of 250 V DC, making it suitable only for panels rated at or below these voltages. Installers must verify the panelboard voltage and available fault current before selection.

Questions about this item

Will the thermal-magnetic trip unit need periodic recalibration or replacement?

The trip unit is factory sealed with a fixed instantaneous setting of 575 A; no field calibration or replacement is required during normal service life.

What is the first limit reached when the breaker carries 30 A continuously in a fully loaded panel?

The 125 A frame rating and 14 kA interrupting capacity at 277/480 V AC set the thermal and short-circuit boundaries before any other parameter.

How much heat does the bolt-on lug connection dissipate when the breaker runs at full load all day?

Continuous 30 A operation produces only modest temperature rise at the lug terminals; the molded case is rated for the 125 A frame ambient without forced cooling.
