THED136050WL - GE - E150 High-Interrupting Bolt-On Circuit Breaker with Lugs - 50 Amp - 3 Pole - 600 Volt
Product images are representative only. Actual product may vary.
The GE THED136050WL is a 50A, 3-pole E150-frame high-interrupting molded case circuit breaker supplied with wire lugs, using bolt-on mounting and rated 600VAC for GE A-Series and Spectra Series panelboards.
This catalog number combines the two options most often needed on a 50A three-phase feeder. The H marks the high-interrupting version of the E150 frame — 65kA at 240VAC and 25kA at 480VAC, well beyond the standard TED's 18kA — for installations where the available fault current is substantial. The WL suffix means wire lugs ship in the box, so the breaker is ready to terminate without a separate accessory order. Protection is fixed thermal-magnetic Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI), with quick-make/quick-break contacts, a trip-free mechanism, and common trip across all three poles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does WL mean on the THED136050WL?
WL stands for "with lugs." It is a factory catalog number that includes wire lugs, so no separate lug kit is required.
Is the THED136050WL interchangeable with the THED136050?
Yes. The two are electrically and mechanically identical; only the factory-supplied lugs differ.
What is the interrupting rating of the THED136050WL?
65kA at 240VAC, 25kA at 480VAC, 18kA at 600VAC, and 10kA at 250VDC and 500VDC.
How does this differ from a TED136050WL?
Interrupting capacity only. The THED is rated 25kA at 480VAC versus the TED's 18kA, in the same frame and footprint.
What wire sizes do the included lugs accept?
#14–3 AWG copper or #12–1 AWG aluminum conductors.
Can the THED136050WL be reverse fed?
Yes. Reverse feed is permitted with no line/load marking restriction under UL 489.
Is the 50A trip rating adjustable?
No. The trip unit is fixed and non-interchangeable.
Is the THED136050WL UL listed?
Yes. It is UL 489 listed, CSA certified to C22.2 No. 5, and HACR rated.
