GE THQC32040WL - 40 A, 240 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

GE THQC32040WL is a 40A, 240V, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker engineered to deliver reliable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Built to meet the demands of residential, commercial, and light industrial applications, this GE component from AmpState is designed to fit your existing GE OEM panels while providing consistent protection you can trust.

• Space-efficient design: Compact molded case construction optimizes panel space without compromising protection, helping you maximize layout options in tight enclosures.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Provides stable, repeatable protection by quickly interrupting fault currents while curbing nuisance trips from normal inrush or temporary surges.
• 3-pole configuration: Ideal for three-phase distribution and circuits that require coordinated protection across three conductors, helping manage motor or multi-phase loads effectively.
• OEM-compatible: Specifically designed to pair with matching GE OEM load centers and panelboards for accurate fit, proper trip coordination, and straightforward installation.
• Rated for practical protection: 40A amperage rating with a 240V ceiling provides robust protection for branch circuits, balancing safety with performance for everyday electrical loads.

Why it matters — A dependable molded case breaker like the THQC32040WL reduces the risk of damage from overcurrent and short circuits, helping protect wiring, devices, and equipment. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism responds quickly to faults while minimizing unnecessary interruptions, supporting safer, more reliable electrical systems in real-world use.
