• Poles: 2
• Voltage rating: 240 V
• Brand & part: General Electric TMQL2180

Why this two-pole 80A 240V breaker stands out

• The 80-amp capacity makes it ideal for heavy-load branch circuits and feeders within GE panels, helping prevent overheating and electrical faults.
• Two-pole design for safer shutoff: By disconnecting both hot conductors simultaneously, it minimizes arc risk and enhances overall panel safety during fault conditions.
• Direct relevance for GE ecosystems: Specifically chosen for GE panels and load centers that accommodate TMQL-series breakers, providing a reliable, compatible replacement option when upgrading or servicing equipment.
• Focused, real-world applicability: Perfect for circuits feeding high-demand equipment and subpanels where stable protection and quick trip response matter most.

Ideal use cases

• Feeder circuits to subpanels in residential or light commercial settings
• Heavy-load branch circuits for large appliances or equipment that require 240 V operation
• Replacing aging or worn 2-pole 80A breakers in GE panels to restore reliable protection

Practical guidance and installation notes

This breaker is designed for GE panels that accept TMQL-series devices. When installing, ensure the panel labeling confirms compatibility with TMQL2180 and follow all local electrical codes. For best results, connect and torque per the panel manufacturer's specifications, and verify the device trips cleanly under fault conditions to protect both wiring and connected equipment. If you’re upgrading from a prior 80A 2-pole solution, this TMQL2180 offers a precise, straightforward replacement that helps maintain system safety and reliability.
