TE122070 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

TE122070 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

Whether you're replacing an existing breaker as part of routine maintenance or keeping a compatible electrical system operating as intended, the TE122070 is designed to provide dependable circuit protection for commercial and industrial applications. This 2-pole, 70-amp molded case circuit breaker combines thermal and magnetic protection in a non-interchangeable thermal magnetic trip unit, helping protect electrical equipment from overloads and short circuits during normal operation. Its bolt-on design allows for a secure installation in compatible equipment, and the included load-side lugs make conductor connections straightforward. Rated for 120/240VAC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, the TE122070 is intended for use in systems where matching the original electrical ratings, mounting style, and trip characteristics is important. If you're servicing an existing panel or replacing a worn breaker with the same specifications, this model offers the form, fit, and function needed to help keep your electrical distribution system operating as designed. Built with the durability expected of molded case circuit breakers, it's made to provide dependable service when properly installed and maintained.
