General Electric TE122045 45A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker

The General Electric TE122045 is a robust 45-amp, two-pole circuit breaker designed to protect 240-volt circuits in electrical panels. This GE part—TE122045—delivers dependable overcurrent protection for demanding loads, helping prevent wiring damage and potential fire hazards in your electrical system.

With a true two-pole design, both hot legs trip together to safely disconnect 240V circuits when a fault is detected. That means balanced disconnection for loads such as air conditioners, electric water heaters, clothes dryers, and other 240-volt equipment, ensuring safer shutdown and reduced risk to surrounding wiring and appliances.

• Current rating: 45 A
• Poles: 2
• Voltage rating: 240 V
• Part number: TE122045
• Brand: General Electric

Designed for reliability in residential, commercial, and light industrial panels that accommodate GE TE-series breakers, this TE122045 model offers a practical, long-lasting solution for protecting high-demand 240V circuits. Use it to safeguard essential loads and keep electrical systems running smoothly without unnecessary trips from undersized protection.

Why choose this GE circuit breaker? It provides precise 45-amp protection for 240V circuits, a compact two-pole form factor, and compatibility with GE electrical infrastructure. When upgrading or replacing a breaker in an existing GE panel, TE122045 ensures consistent performance and dependable interruption when circuits exceed safe operating limits.

Practical tips for use: verify that your circuit requires a 45 A, 2-pole 240 V protection device, confirm the panel accepts GE TE-type breakers, and replace only with a breaker that matches both the amperage and pole configuration of the original equipment. Proper sizing and installation help maintain safe, efficient operation of your 240V loads.
