Designed by General Electric, the THQMV175E circuit breaker is built to protect high‑current 240V circuits with reliable, code‑compliant performance. This 2‑pole unit delivers a precise 175‑amp rating, making it the go‑to choice for heavy feeders and main service links in GE panels.

Key specifications

• Amperage: 175A
• Poles: 2‑Pole
• Voltage: 240V
• Part number: THQMV175E

Why this breaker stands out

For maintenance, retrofit, or replacement projects where exact compatibility matters, the THQMV175E seamlessly drops into GE panel systems that require this specific part. The 2‑pole design ensures both hot legs are disconnected simultaneously, providing robust protection for high‑load circuits and helping to maintain electrical safety across your installation.

What problems it solves

• Prevents overloads on 240V feeders by interrupting excessive current quickly and reliably.
• Offers a straightforward, compatible replacement option that preserves panel performance and safety standards.
• Minimizes downtime by serving as a ready, exact match for existing GE equipment during upgrades or repairs.

Ideal use cases

• Feeding large 240V subpanels or main service connections in residential or light commercial settings.
• Replacement for failed 175A, 2‑pole GE breakers in compatible GE panels.
• Retrofits where equipment ratings align with a 175A, 2‑pole, 240V specification.

Fit, compatibility & installation tips

Before ordering, confirm fit and ratings against your panel model. The part number THQMV175E is the best reference for compatibility. Engage a licensed electrician to install, verify proper torque on terminations, and ensure the surrounding enclosure remains compliant with local electrical codes. If replacing an existing breaker, match the exact amperage, pole count, and voltage rating to avoid performance gaps or code violations.

Maintenance and care

Keep the THQMV175E on hand as a dedicated replacement so you can minimize service interruptions. Store in a dry, clean environment and handle with care to protect the breaker’s internal mechanisms. Regularly inspect panel interiors for signs of wear or arcing and replace any component that shows damage or degradation.
