GE THQP230 30A 2-Pole Circuit Breaker, 120/240V, Plug-In
Description
The GE THQP230 is a 30-amp, 2-pole circuit breaker designed for residential and light commercial electrical panels. This feeder breaker provides essential over-current protection by instantly tripping when current exceeds its 30-amp rating, safeguarding wiring, appliances, and equipment from overloads and short circuits. Its plug-in mounting style makes it a straightforward choice for new installations, panel upgrades, and emergency replacements.
With its compact 1/2-inch-per-pole form factor, the THQP230 takes up minimal space in your panel while delivering reliable performance. The dual-pole design simultaneously disconnects both hot conductors, making it ideal for 240-volt circuits such as central air conditioners, electric dryers, and other heavy-duty household loads. The breaker features copper-to-copper connections and a heat-resistant thermoset case, engineered for dependable operation in demanding electrical environments.
