The General Electrics TEYF230 (often referenced as GE TEYF230) is a 30A, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Built to stand up to real-world electrical loads, it provides a sturdy, vibration-resistant connection and precise protection when it matters most. Key features that set the TEYF230 apart
- Secure bolt-on mounting for a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection that stays seated through equipment start-ups and routine cycling.
- Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection by combining thermal overload protection with fast magnetic response to short circuits.
- Compatible with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring a seamless fit and reliable operation within your existing electrical infrastructure.
- Suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of panel configurations. Why this 30A, 2-Pole breaker is the right choice
- Targeted protection for branch circuits: the TEYF230 guards against both overcurrent and short-circuit events, helping prevent damage to wiring and connected equipment.
- Reliable performance in vibration-prone environments: the bolt-on mounting minimizes movement at the bus connection, reducing the chance of loose connections over time.
- OEM-aligned compatibility: designed to work with the corresponding General Electrics load centers and panelboards, simplifying replacement and upgrades without custom adapters. Ideal applications and use cases
- Residential panels protecting individual circuits such as HVAC, water heaters, or high-draw appliances on a dedicated 30A circuit.
- Small commercial panels serving lighting, receptacle banks, or modest equipment loads where clean, dependable protection is essential.
- Light industrial panelboards guarding motors or subcircuits where consistent trip characteristics and quick response to faults matter. Technical snapshot
