GE THQB2130 - 30 A, 240 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the GE THQB2130, a 30A, 240V, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Its rugged bolt-on mounting creates a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection, ensuring a stable, low-resistance path for reliable operation in varying installation environments.

Thermal-magnetic protection you can trust — the integrated thermal-magnetic trip unit tackles both overloads and short circuits. The thermal element responds to sustained current increases, while the magnetic element delivers an instantaneous trip for high-mault fault conditions. The result is stable, repeatable protection across a wide range of temperatures and electrical scenarios, reducing nuisance trips and helping protect connected equipment.

Designed for seamless compatibility, the THQB2130 is built to slot into matching OEM load centers and panelboards. This makes retrofits and expansions straightforward, with no converters or adapters required, so you can upgrade or refurbish panels with confidence while maintaining proper coordination with other protective devices.
