General Electric TE132015 - 15A, 3-Pole, Circuit Breaker

Meet the General Electric TE132015 — a 15A, 3-Pole circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable overcurrent protection in demanding electrical systems. This device is built for flexible use in panelboards, switchboards, and control panels, making it a practical, space-conscious choice for three-phase distribution.

Why the TE132015 stands out

• Three-pole design for true 3‑phase protection: Ensures all three hot conductors trip together during an overcurrent event, helping to prevent unbalanced faults and minimize equipment stress in three-phase circuits.
• 15 ampere rating: Precisely sized to safeguard feeders and motor circuits without unnecessarily interrupting normal operation, supporting reliable performance in industrial and commercial settings.
• Versatile installation points: Ideal for use in distribution panels, motor control centers, and control panels where compact, robust protection is essential.
• Robust, purpose-built for demanding environments: Engineered to endure the rigors of industrial and OEM applications, delivering consistent protection and long service life in active electrical environments.

This GE TE132015 addresses real-world challenges like motor starts, drive faults, and three-phase distribution faults by providing coordinated protection that simplifies panel design and reduces downtime. Its 3‑pole configuration means fewer components to manage and cleaner wiring, which translates to easier installation and more straightforward maintenance in complex systems.

Ideal for whom and where

• Electrical engineers and technicians designing or upgrading industrial control panels, switchboards, and distribution panels.
• OEM integrators seeking a reliable, compact three-phase protective device to incorporate into equipment assemblies.
• Maintenance teams aiming to minimize exposure to fault conditions and extend the life of motors and drives in MCCs.

Practical deployment tips

• Ensure your enclosure and bus arrangement support a 3‑Pole, 15A device and align with the panel’s protection strategy for coordinated trip response.
• Plan for downstream coordination with motor starters and drives to maintain consistent protection across the electrical system.
• Keep spare units on hand for quick replacements in mission-critical panels to minimize downtime during maintenance cycles.
