GE TED134060 - 60 A, 480 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the GE TED134060: a 60A, 480V, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker engineered for reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Designed for demanding commercial and light industrial environments, this device delivers dependable, consistent performance when it matters most—the moment a fault occurs in a 3-phase electrical system.

Why choose the GE TED134060

• Compact molded-case design maximizes panel space, allowing cleaner, more flexible layouts in both new installations and service upgrades.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable, repeatable protection by combining gradual thermal overload protection with fast magnetic response for short circuits, helping prevent unnecessary nuisance trips and equipment damage.
• 3-pole protection ensures synchronized disconnection of all three phases, which is essential for balanced loads and safe shutdown in 3-phase systems.
• OEM panel compatibility is crafted to align with GE load centers and panelboards, preserving fit, routing, and labeling to maintain accurate protection coordination.
• Versatile across applications suitable for residential (where applicable), commercial, and light industrial circuits that require robust 60A protection at 480V.

Ideal use cases and benefits

When you’re wiring 3-phase equipment or feeders in commercial spaces, the GE TED134060 delivers predictable protection for motors, drives, lighting, and general power distribution. Its compact footprint helps you fit more circuits into a single panel, while the thermal-magnetic mechanism reduces the risk of nuisance trips caused by minor overloads or transients. This makes it a practical choice for electrical enclosures in data centers, manufacturing floors, office buildings, HVAC installations, and other environments where reliable 480V distribution is critical.

Practical tips for installation and longevity

• Pair this 60A, 480V, 3-pole breaker with matching GE OEM load centers and panelboards to ensure proper trip coordination and labeling.
• Verify that your panel’s ampacity and short-circuit ratings align with this breaker to maintain safe, code-compliant protection for the circuit feeders.
• Follow standard electrical practice for torque and termination when connecting conductors to the breaker terminals, and keep the environment free of excessive dust and moisture to extend service life.
• Consider this breaker for future-proofing if your installation plans include 3-phase equipment or motors operating at 480V, ensuring scalable protection as your system grows.
