General Electrics TEB132Y100 - 100 A, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The GE TEB132Y100 is a 100 A, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker designed for reliable branch-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Crafted for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments, this unit delivers precise protection where wiring safety and uptime matter most.

Key differentiators you’ll feel in the field

• Compact molded-case design minimizes panel footprint and simplifies layout, freeing space for wiring and labeling in crowded panels.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides stable thermal protection against gradual overloads and fast magnetic trips for short circuits, delivering repeatable protection performance across varying load conditions.
• Three-pole configuration is ideal for balanced three-phase systems, supporting reliable distribution of power to commercial equipment and light industrial machinery.
• OEM-panel compatibility designed to match GE OEM load centers and panelboards, reducing mounting and compatibility headaches during installation or replacement.
• Targeted protection covers branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit events, helping minimize electrical risks and downtime.
