GE TED124020 - 20 A, 480 V, 2-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

GE TED124020 is a 20A, 480V, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker engineered to deliver dependable branch-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Its compact molded-case design makes efficient use of limited panel space, while the thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection performance against both overloads and short circuits.

Designed for seamless integration, this breaker is compatible with GE OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring a clean, plug-in replacement in existing electrical systems. It’s a versatile choice for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where reliable high-voltage protection is required for 480V circuits.

Key features

• Compact molded-case design maximizes panel space and simplifies installations in crowded enclosures.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable overload protection with fast magnetic response for short circuits.
• OEM compatibility matches GE panelboards and load centers for consistent performance and easy replacements.
• 2-pole construction disconnects both conductors simultaneously, enhancing safety on 480V circuits.
• 20A, 480V rating suits two-pole branch circuits in commercial and industrial environments.

Use cases and installation insights

Ideal for upgrading or stocking a GE-compatible panel in locations where 480V feeding is standard—think commercial buildings, light industrial facilities, or service rooms with 480V feeders. Use it to replace aged or failed breakers in GE panelboards, ensuring consistent trip characteristics and reliable protection for critical equipment like motors, compressors, or feeders to subpanels.

Practical tips:

• Verify that your enclosure is a GE OEM load center or panelboard to ensure plug-and-play compatibility.
• Coordinate replacement with the system’s protective coordination strategy to maintain selective tripping and minimize downtime.
• Handle with appropriate safety gear and follow lockout-tagout procedures during replacement or installation.
