General Electric Company TEYL2040B Circuit Breaker

GE TEYL2040B is a two-pole circuit breaker from General Electric, rated at 40 amperes and intended for use in electrical systems up to 480 volts. This model belongs to GE’s TEYL series and is designed to protect two-pole circuits in compatible GE panels and distribution equipment that accept TEYL breakers. In normal operation, it routes current through the protected path; when overcurrent occurs, the TEYL2040B interrupts the circuit to prevent damage to wiring and equipment. The 40 A rating identifies the maximum continuous current the device is intended to carry in normal conditions before tripping to protect the circuit. The 480 V rating indicates the maximum voltage level at which it can prevent overcurrent events. This specific part is identified as TEYL2040B, allowing for clear ordering and replacement within installations that use GE TEYL family breakers.
