General Electric TE22030 30A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker

General Electric TE22030 30A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker is a precise replacement part designed to safeguard 240-volt circuits with two independent hot legs. With a 30-amp rating and a two-pole configuration, it provides reliable overcurrent protection for circuits that require simultaneous disconnection on both sides of the split-phase power supply.

Key features and benefits:

• Exact part match: Part Number TE22030 ensures compatibility with GE panels that accept TE-series breakers.
• Two-pole, 240V protection: Simultaneous interruption on both hot legs to prevent dangerous arc faults and backfeed, ideal for 240V circuits.
• 30 Amp rating: Protects mid-range 240V circuits such as HVAC units, water heaters, and electric clothes dryers from overloads.
• Compact, sturdy design: Built to endure regular switching and provide consistent performance in residential and light commercial environments.
• Easy replacement: Simple drop-in installation in compatible GE load centers when replacing an existing TE-series breaker.

Use cases and installation considerations:

• Ideal for protecting 240V appliances and equipment that run on two hot legs, where a single-pole breaker would leave one leg unprotected.
• Before replacing, verify that your panel is designed for TE-series breakers and that the 30A rating matches the circuit requirements.
• Common examples include well-insulated 30A circuits for air conditioning systems, certain water heating elements, and other 240V appliances that require robust protection.

Why this GE TE22030 stands out:

• Focused on compatibility and performance within GE's breaker lineup, reducing the guesswork when sourcing a replacement part.
• By providing true two-pole 240V protection, it helps ensure safe shutdown of both hot conductors simultaneously, improving on-board fault isolation and panel safety.

If you’re updating a panel or replacing an aging breaker, the TE22030 30A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker offers a precise, dependable option to maintain circuit protection and electrical system integrity.
