GE TEY240 - 40 A, 480 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the GE TEY240 — a 40A, 480V, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker built for dependable branch circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. When reliable disconnection and robust performance matter, this breaker delivers.

• Secure bolt-on mounting: a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection that stays put through door cycles and equipment movement, helping maintain consistent electrical contact over time.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: combines a thermal element for overload protection with a magnetic mechanism for fast short-circuit interruption, delivering stable, repeatable protection across varying loads.
• Two-pole, 480V design: disconnects both conductors simultaneously for safe, straightforward shutoff of high-voltage circuits in distributed systems.
• OEM-compatible: engineered to fit with matching GE OEM load centers and panelboards, making retrofits and upgrades reliable and worry-free.
• Versatile for multiple environments: ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications that demand solid overcurrent and short-circuit protection.
• Clear specification fit: Part Number TEY240 with a 40A rating at 480V, 2-pole, bolt-on molded case construction designed for branch circuit protection.

Use cases and practical scenarios

Upgrade or retrofit panelboards and load centers in commercial spaces or light industrial facilities where higher-voltage distribution is used. Installations commonly protected by the TEY240 include dedicated feeders for HVAC equipment, lighting circuits in multi-tenant environments, and critical branch circuits that require reliable protection without frequent nuisance trips.

What makes it unique

Unlike generic breakers, the GE TEY240 emphasizes a secure bolt-on mounting to minimize movement and wear on bus connections, paired with a thermal-magnetic trip unit that maintains predictable performance across temperature changes and load fluctuations. This combination delivers durable protection you can trust in demanding distribution systems.
