General Electric | THQL2170 | Circuit Breaker | 2-Pole | 240V

Meet the General Electric THQL2170, a durable 2-pole circuit breaker engineered for 240V circuits. This authentic GE component is purpose-built for maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects where exact specifications matter, ensuring reliable protection for your electrical system.

The THQL2170 is a 2-pole device designed to interrupt both conductors of a 240V circuit, providing comprehensive protection for high–voltage appliances, HVAC equipment, and other 240V loads. When the system encounters overloads or short circuits, this breaker kicks in to safeguard wiring and connected devices, helping prevent damage and fire risk.

Key specifications and compatibility

• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage: 240V
• Part number: THQL2170 — the best reference for compatibility
• Important: Confirm fit and ratings before ordering. Use the THQL2170 part number to verify panel compatibility and required amp rating.

What sets it apart

authenticity and precision matter. This is a genuine General Electric THQL breaker, designed to integrate with GE panels and systems that accept THQL-type devices. The result is predictable trip behavior, solid mechanical durability, and a form factor you can trust for long-term reliability in both residential and light commercial applications.

Use cases and practical benefits

• Restore circuit protection quickly by replacing a worn or failed 2-pole 240V breaker without overhauling upstream components.
• Retrofit: Upgrade older electrical setups to current protection standards while maintaining full 240V circuit capability.
• Replacement: Replace a failed 2-pole breaker to reclaim power to essential 240V loads such as water heaters, major appliances, or split-system HVAC equipment—always matching the correct amp rating to the panel requirements.

Installation and best practices

Always power down the main before servicing a panel. Verify that the panel model supports THQL breakers and that the amp rating and trip characteristics align with the circuit you’re protecting. If you’re unsure, consult a licensed electrician to confirm compatibility and safe installation.

Why choosing the THQL2170 matters

Using the exact part number THQL2170 minimizes the risk of improper seating, nuisance trips, or compatibility issues that can arise with substitutes. For guaranteed alignment with your GE panel’s protection scheme, rely on the part reference that engineers and technicians trust.
