General Electric TE132050 Three Phase Circuit Breaker

The General Electric TE132050 serves as a specialized three-phase molded case circuit breaker engineered to regulate and protect electrical circuits rated for a consistent 50 amperes at 240 volts. Designed with a 3-pole configuration, this device houses three independent switching elements that operate simultaneously to disconnect all active current paths, a critical function for maintaining balance in three-phase power distribution systems used throughout industrial facilities. By referencing the 10 interrupting classification within its model identifier, the unit offers a defined level of fault tolerance suitable for handling prospective short-circuit currents generated by large motor loads or transformer banks without sustaining damage to the contacts or housing.

Installation typically places this component within switchgear assemblies where coordination with other protective devices ensures selective isolation of faults, thereby preventing cascading outages in factory floors or commercial buildings requiring high-reliability power availability.
