ge CE2045 45A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker

The GE CE2045 45A 2-Pole 240V Circuit Breaker is a purpose-built protection device designed for GE electrical panels. With a 45-amp current rating and a robust two-pole configuration, this breaker interrupts both hot legs of a 240V circuit, delivering dependable shutoff when overloads or faults occur. Part number CE2045 identifies this exact GE component, ensuring precise compatibility with GE panels that accept CE-series breakers.

Why it matters: in 240V circuits, a two-pole breaker protects more than just one conductor. By cutting power to both legs, it minimizes the risk of shock and reduces damage to appliances and wiring, providing safer, more reliable circuit protection for high-demand equipment.

• Current rating: 45 A
• Poles: 2-pole design for 240V circuits
• Voltage rating: 240 V
• Part number: CE2045
• Compatibility: specifically intended for GE panels that accept CE-series two-pole breakers

Ideal applications include 240V branch circuits that require a 45A protective device, such as larger HVAC equipment, pool or spa equipment, water heaters, and other 240V loads that demand reliable, simultaneous disconnection of both conductors. If your setup requires a GE-approved replacement or spare for a CE2045-compatible panel, this breaker provides a straightforward, plug-in solution that maintains the panel’s safety and performance standards.

Compatibility and installation tips to ensure optimal performance:

• Confirm that your GE panel accepts CE-series two-pole breakers and that the CE2045 is the correct replacement part for your model.
• Power down the main disconnect before servicing, and follow all local electrical codes during installation.
• When attaching wiring, tighten terminal screws to the manufacturer’s specified torque and ensure a clean, secure connection.
• Do not install this breaker in panels that are not rated for CE-series devices or in circuits outside the 45A, 240V specification.

Designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who prioritize safety, reliability, and precise GE compatibility, the GE CE2045 45A 2-Pole 240V Circuit Breaker delivers confident protection for your 240V infrastructure. By choosing a GE-branded component, you minimize guesswork about fitment and performance, helping you maintain code-compliant, resilient electrical systems.
