The thermal element reacts to sustained overloads, providing predictable trip behavior as loads change over time. When a short circuit occurs, the magnetic mechanism delivers a rapid, decisive trip to interrupt current flow. Together, they reduce the risk of heat buildup, wiring damage, and equipment failure, helping maintain uptime and safety in your electrical system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eSpecifications at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e GE\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e THED124070\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70A\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480V\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Poles:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003ePractical installation guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor dependable results, pair this device with the appropriate GE or OEM panelboard and ensure correct alignment with the panel’s bus configuration.
