The GE TEYL2040B 40 Amp two-pole molded case circuit breaker is part of the GE TEYL high-interrupting capacity series, designed for robust commercial and industrial power distribution systems. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic LI (Long-Time and Instantaneous) protection for grounded 480Y/277VAC applications. Its compact one-inch-per-pole design helps maximize panel space efficiency, while the bolt-on mounting system ensures a secure and stable installation in compatible GE panelboards. Rated at 65kAIC at 480/277VAC, this breaker is engineered for high fault-current environments requiring strong interruption capability. It also features quick-make/quick-break mechanisms, common trip functionality, and a visible trip indicator for enhanced safety and easier troubleshooting.
