GE | SEH2C040 | Circuit Breaker | 40A | 2-Pole | 480V

Introducing the GE SEH2C040 Circuit Breaker — a purpose-built solution for protection in 480V systems. This 40A, 2-Pole model is ideal for maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects where exact specifications must be matched to keep electrical infrastructure safe and reliable.

Key specifications at a glance

• Amperage: 40A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage rating: 480V
• Part reference: SEH2C040

Why this design matters

• A two-pole design ensures both conductors in a circuit are disconnected together, providing consistent protection for 480V installations and helping prevent partial faults that can occur when only one leg is interrupted.
• Matching the exact SEH2C040 specifications gives you a reliable, like-for-like replacement that fits compatible GE panels and assemblies without modification.

Ideal use cases

• Maintenance resets on industrial equipment powered by 480V, where preserving a two-pole protection scheme is essential.
• Retrofit projects updating legacy panels to current protection standards while maintaining the original circuit layout.
• Replacement spares for GE equipment that require a 40A, 2-Pole, 480V breaker, ensuring fast, compatible swaps with minimal panel disruption.

Practical guidance for buyers

• Always confirm fit and ratings before ordering. The SEH2C040 part number is the most reliable reference for compatibility with your GE panel or enclosure.
• Check the circuit’s load profile and engineering drawings to ensure a 40A protection level aligns with the connected equipment and conductors.
• For installation, ensure all power is de-energized, use proper testing to verify isolation, and follow manufacturer safety procedures to complete a secure replacement.

Designed to meet the practical needs of technicians and facilities managers, the GE SEH2C040 Circuit Breaker delivers straightforward replacement capabilities, precise 40A protection, and a robust 2-Pole configuration for 480V systems. When you need a reliable, exact-fit GE component that aligns with your panel’s original specifications, this model stands out as a practical, durable choice for continuity and safety in demanding electrical environments.
