The GE TC2228 is a manual toggle type tumbler switch and manual motor starter from General Electric's Spec Setter line. Rated for 240 VAC operation with a 2 pole, Type RB configuration, this Model 5 switch is designed for direct on, off control of small motor loads and general purpose disconnect applications. The unit ships in its original GE Electrical Distribution and Control packaging with catalog number TC2228, UPC 78316400053, and the box label indicating 30 amps, 2 poles, NEMA 1 enclosure type. Manufacturer published specifications for the TC2228 list it as a 20 amp, 2 HP at 240 VAC rated device of Type RB construction; the on box amperage and the manufacturer's published specifications differ and prospective buyers should verify the rating against application requirements. The assembly includes the toggle switch mechanism mounted on a gray painted metal cover plate with embossed GE logo, two brass terminal screws, and an integrated OFF marked toggle handle. The TC2228 has been used in machine tool controls, HVAC equipment, commercial appliance disconnects, and other industrial and commercial environments requiring a compact, panel mount manual switch. Replaces and is functionally aligned with the GE TC2228S variant. Part number TC2228, model 5, NEMA 1, double pole.
