General Electric TFJ224080 80A 2-Pole 480 V Circuit Breaker

Introducing the General Electric TFJ224080 80A 2-Pole 480 V Circuit Breaker — a purpose-built protective device for demanding 480-volt electrical systems. This GE breaker is designed to interrupt both hot legs simultaneously, ensuring safe de-energization of high-current circuits and reducing arcing risk in fault conditions.

Key specifications

• Current rating: 80 A
• Poles: 2
• Voltage rating: 480 V
• Part number: TFJ224080

Where and how you’ll use it

• Ideal for industrial and commercial panels that operate at 480 V and require reliable protection for heavy feeders and motor circuits.
• Great for upgrading legacy panels that need a robust, GE-branded replacement part with consistent trip characteristics and fitment.
• Fits GE distribution panels built to accept TFJ-series breakers, providing a straightforward retrofit to improve safety and circuit protection.

What sets this breaker apart

• Dual-pole design ensures synchronized disconnection of both live conductors, improving fault clearance and arc suppression.
• Trusted GE engineering means consistent trip performance and compatibility with GE protective devices and panel accessories.
• Compact, clean profile minimizes panel depth requirements, helping with wiring density in crowded service rooms.

Practical considerations and tips

• Ensure the panel is rated for 480 V operation and that the TFJ224080 is compatible with your GE electrical panel model.
• Always power down and lockout/tagout before replacing a breaker. Verify there is no voltage present and the replacement part seats securely in the bus stabs.
• Label circuits clearly after installation to reflect the protected load and the breaker's rating for future maintenance and safety checks.

Why choose this TFJ224080 breaker over ad-hoc replacements

• Guaranteed part integrity as a General Electric product, reducing the risk of misfit parts or inconsistent trip behavior.
• Part-number traceability for maintenance records and future service planning.
• Reliable protection for critical loads in 480 V installations, helping prevent equipment damage and downtime.
