General Electric TED124045WL is a robust 2-pole circuit breaker designed to protect 480V electrical systems with a 45A rating. Built for maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects where exact specifications matter, this GE part delivers reliable fault interruption and long-term performance in demanding environments.

Key specifications

• Amperage: 45 A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage: 480V
• Interrupting rating: 18kA
• Compatibility note: Part number TED124045WL is the best reference for compatibility; confirm fit and ratings before ordering.

What makes this breaker stand out

Unlike generic substitutes, the TED124045WL leverages General Electric’s design and engineering for dependable performance in real-world service. The 2-pole construction ensures both live conductors trip together, reducing arc exposure and providing safer, more predictable protection for feeders and multi-wire circuits. With an 18kA interrupting capacity, it can safely interrupt high fault currents typical in industrial or commercial distribution setups, helping protect downstream equipment and wiring from damage.

Ideal use cases

• Maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects where the exact GE part is required to match existing protection schemes.
• Industrial and commercial panels that operate at or near 480V and demand reliable 45A protection for feeders or motor circuits.
• Spare parts for service fleets and stocking programs to minimize downtime when a like-for-like replacement is needed.

Compatibility and ordering guidance

For best results, use the part number TED124045WL as the primary compatibility reference. Always verify fit and ratings against your panel or switchgear’s documentation before ordering to ensure seamless integration with your existing protection plan.

Installation and safety tips

• Shut down power and follow lockout/tagout procedures before working on any circuit.
• Confirm voltage, current rating, and interrupting capacity match your system requirements.
• Secure connections to manufacturer-recommended torque and mounting specifications to maintain reliable operation.
• If you’re unsure about compatibility or installation, consult a licensed electrician to avoid mis-match or safety risks.

With the GE TED124045WL, you gain a trusted, purpose-built solution for protecting high-demand 480V circuits. It’s a precise, dependable choice for engineers and technicians who demand consistency, fast fault interruption, and straightforward replacement in complex electrical systems.
