Eaton ge-thql240 Circuit Breaker 40 Amp 2-pole

Product Description

The EATON ge-thql240 is a 2-pole plug-in circuit breaker designed for use in residential and light commercial load centers. It provides overcurrent protection for branch circuits, tripping automatically when current exceeds rated capacity to protect wiring and connected equipment. The ge-thql240 follows the THQL form factor, a widely recognized plug-in breaker profile used in GE-style load center panels. Licensed electricians and panel technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This breaker is suited for residential load centers that accept THQL-style plug-in breakers. Typical applications include branch circuit protection for 240-volt double-pole loads such as dryers, water heaters, air conditioning equipment, and similar double-pole branch circuit applications in residential panel installations.

Key Features

• 2-pole plug-in design compatible with THQL-style load centers
• Provides automatic overcurrent and short-circuit protection
• 40-amp rated for 240-volt double-pole branch circuits

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements. The main breaker or utility disconnect must be shut off and the panel verified de-energized before removing or installing any breaker. Confirm the load center accepts THQL-style plug-in breakers before installation. Do not install a breaker rated higher than the wire gauge it protects will support.
