General Electric THQLSURGE2 - Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The GE THQLSURGE2 molded case circuit breaker delivers dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short‑circuit protection for panelboards and load centers. Built from GE’s trusted THQL family, it combines a compact molded‑case design with a precise thermal‑magnetic trip unit to stay reliable across temperature swings and varying electrical loads.

• Space‑efficient molded‑case design: Slim profile that minimizes panel footprint and eases installation in tight panels.
• Thermal‑magnetic trip for stable protection: Thermal element handles sustained overloads while the magnetic element reacts to instantaneous faults for fast disconnection.
• OEM‑level compatibility: Specifically designed to be compatible with matching GE OEM load centers and panelboards for a cohesive, safe fit.
• Versatile across sectors: Suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems, especially where panel space is at a premium.
• Protects branch circuits: Prevents damage from overloads and short circuits, helping safeguard wiring, devices, and downstream equipment.

Ideal scenarios include upgrading aging panels in homes, adding a new distribution point in a small business, or retrofitting a compact panel in a storefront or workshop where every inch of space matters. The THQLSURGE2 is a drop‑in choice when you need reliable, repeatable trips without compromising panel density.

How it works: The thermal element responds to sustained overloads with a gradual temperature rise, while the magnetic element detects high fault currents for rapid disconnection. When either condition is met, the breaker opens the circuit to prevent damage and reduce risk, all in a compact package that fits GE‑style panelboards and compatible load centers.

Before installation, verify that the part number THQLSURGE2 matches your panel’s requirements and follow GE’s installation guidelines for proper alignment with your model. Pair this breaker with correctly rated conductors and panel components in accordance with local electrical codes for ongoing safety and reliability.
