The \"Y\" in the catalog number designates a non-automatic device: it has the mechanical switching capability and short-circuit withstand rating of a molded case breaker, but no trip unit, so it will not open on an overcurrent. That is exactly what you want at a main distribution point where overcurrent protection is provided upstream and the local requirement is a lockable means of isolation for service and maintenance. It withstands 22kA at 480VAC without damage, accepts conductors from #4 AWG to 300 kcmil, and mounts as an exact substitute for the TFK236Y225. Field-installable shunt trips and auxiliary switches allow remote opening where required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGE \/ ABB (General Electric)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eF-Frame, Type TFJ (Non-Automatic)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePart Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTFJ236Y225\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAmperage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e225A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e600VAC, 480VAC, 240VAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePoles\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePhase\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWithstand Rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22kA @ 480VAC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDevice Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-Automatic Molded Case Switch (no overcurrent trip unit)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMounting Style\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBolt-On\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTerminal Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLugs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFor Use With\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGE A-Series Panelboards, GE J-Line Panelboards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWire Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#4 AWG – 300 kcmil (Cu\/Al)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eReplaces\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGE TFK236Y225\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAccessories Included\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoad Lugs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShunt Trip, Auxiliary Switch, Undervoltage Release, Alarm Switch, Padlock Attachment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eStandards\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUL 489, CSA C22.2 No. 5, NEMA AB 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eApprovals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUL, CSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eConstruction Features\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-Automatic (Disconnect), Reverse Feed Capable, Non-Interchangeable Trip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShipping Dimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 x 10 x 10 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the TFJ236Y225 provide overcurrent protection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Y designation means it is non-automatic — a molded case switch with no trip unit.
