TE132040 - 40Amp Circuit Breaker

TE132040 - 40Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a compatible replacement for an existing TE-series circuit breaker, the TE132040 offers the same form, fit, and function expected for many commercial and industrial electrical systems. This 3-pole, 40-amp molded case circuit breaker features a factory-installed thermal magnetic trip unit that provides protection against overloads and short circuits without the use of interchangeable trip components. Its bolt-on design allows it to mount securely in compatible equipment, while the included load-side lugs help simplify wiring during installation. Built for long service life, the TE132040 is intended for use in electrical distribution systems operating at up to 240VAC with an interrupting capacity of 10kA. Whether you're replacing a worn breaker during maintenance or restoring an existing panel to service, matching the original electrical ratings and physical configuration is essential. Before installation, always verify compatibility with your equipment and follow applicable electrical codes.
