GE TEB132040 - 40 A, 240 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

GE TEB132040 is a trusted 40A, 240V, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker engineered to protect branch circuits and sensitive equipment within panelboards and loadcenters. Designed for reliability in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments, this unit delivers consistent, repeatable protection when every amp counts.

Why this breaker stands out

• Compact molded case design maximizes usable space in crowded panels, making it easier to fit multiple protections without sacrificing clearance or organization.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection by responding appropriately to both gradual overloads and instantaneous short-circuit events, reducing nuisance trips and safeguarding downstream equipment.
• OEM-ready compatibility is built to harmonize with matching OEM loadCenters and panelboards, enabling straightforward upgrades or replacements without compatibility concerns.
• Versatile three-pole configuration supports three-phase or common-trip applications, ideal for modern electrical systems that require coordinated protection across multiple conductors.

Where it fits and how it solves problems

In homes, offices, retail spaces, or light industrial facilities, the GE TEB132040 protects critical circuits from overcurrent and short circuits, helping prevent damage to wiring, motors, and downstream devices. Its compact form factor is particularly valuable in compact subpanels or retrofits where panel space is at a premium. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism means you won’t be left guessing after a surge—the device trips predictably at the designed thresholds, so you can restore service quickly with confidence.
