General Electric TFK226100 100A 2-Pole 600 V Circuit Breaker

Meet the General Electric TFK226100 — a genuine GE circuit breaker engineered for dependable overcurrent protection in GE panels and compatible electrical systems. This 100A, 2-pole device is built to safeguard both electrical circuits and the people who use them, delivering reliable performance in demanding environments.

Key specifications

• Part number: TFK226100
• Current rating: 100 A
• Poles: 2
• Voltage rating: 600 V

What it does and why it matters

The two-pole design interrupts both hot legs simultaneously, making it ideal for protecting dual-hot-leg circuits typical of 240V loads. Using a genuine GE component helps ensure compatible trip characteristics, predictable performance, and fewer issues with panel wiring and mounting compared to aftermarket options. For installers and maintenance teams, this means quicker replacements and reduced downtime when servicing GE electrical systems.

Ideal uses and scenarios

• Replacement for a failed or worn GE breaker in compatible panels, restoring reliable protection quickly
• Protection for dual-hot-leg (240V) circuits in residential or light commercial settings, such as large appliances or motors
• Part of a panel refresh or upgrade that prioritizes identical GE components for optimal compatibility

Installation and safety considerations

Electrical work should be performed by qualified personnel. Before installation, ensure the power is fully de-energized and the panel cover is accessible. Verify that the GE TFK226100 matches your panel’s catalog requirements, and follow all local electrical codes and manufacturer guidelines for mounting and torque (as specified by your panel documentation).

Why choose a genuine GE part

Using the original General Electric TFK226100 helps maintain system integrity, ensures consistent trip behavior, and minimizes compatibility issues that can arise with non-OEM components. It’s a dependable choice when you need durable protection for your 100-amp, two-pole 600V circuit needs.
