GE THQD22100 - 100 A, 240 V, 2-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The GE THQD22100 is a 100A, 240V, 2-pole molded-case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch circuit protection in panelboards and load centers. Built for consistent overcurrent and short-circuit protection, it seamlessly pairs with GE OEM panels to ensure reliable trip performance across residential, commercial, and light industrial installations.

Why this breaker stands out

• Space-efficient design: The compact molded-case construction helps maximize panel space, letting you fit more circuits without crowding the enclosure.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines thermal and magnetic tripping for stable, repeatable protection — slow, predictable responses for overloads and immediate action for high-current faults.
• Two-pole protection: Simultaneously interrupts both live conductors, improving safety and reducing the risk of dangerous arc conditions in shared-neutral circuits.
• GE OEM compatibility: Engineered to work with matching GE loadcenters and panelboards, ensuring a precise fit, consistent coordination, and trouble-free maintenance.
• Versatile application: Designed for residential panels, commercial panels, and light industrial environments where reliable branch circuit protection is essential.

Installation & compatibility tips

For optimal performance, use the THQD22100 with GE OEM panelboards and loadcenters designed to accept this series. Ensure the electrical system is de-energized and follow all applicable electrical codes during replacement or installation. The 2-pole design provides coordinated disconnection of both hot legs, helping to maintain system safety and breaker protection alignment across circuits.

Practical considerations and care

• Verify the part number (THQD22100) matches your panel’s compatibility requirements before installation.
• Use in panels and loadcenters specified by GE to maintain guaranteed trip performance and warranty integrity.
• Regularly inspect panel installations for secure mounting and clean bus connections to preserve reliable protection over time.

With the GE THQD22100, you gain a reliable, space-conscious solution for robust 100A, 240V, 2-pole protection. It’s engineered to deliver dependable protection where it matters most — keeping electrical systems safer and panels more efficient in homes, businesses, and light industrial settings.
