General Electric | TQD22225X2 | Circuit Breaker | 225A | 2-Pole | 240V

The General Electric TQD22225X2 Circuit Breaker is a purpose-built protection device designed for demanding 240V circuits. With a 225A rating and two poles, it delivers robust overcurrent protection for heavy-load feeders, motors, and critical electrical lines, making it an essential upgrade or replacement in compatible GE panels.

Key Specifications

• Amperage: 225 A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage: 240 V
• Reference: Part number TQD22225X2 (best reference for compatibility)

Note: Confirm fit and ratings before ordering. The part number is the most reliable indicator of compatibility with your panel and system. Always verify that your GE panel accepts Type TQD breakers and that the 225A rating aligns with your circuit requirements.

Why this breaker matters

Designed for two-hot-leg 240V circuits, this GE TQD2-series breaker provides precise trip characteristics tailored to high-load applications. By matching the exact amperage and pole configuration, you reduce nuisance trips while maintaining protection for downstream equipment and wiring. The TQD family is engineered for dependable performance in retrofit, maintenance, and replacement projects where specification alignment is critical.

Ideal use cases

• Replacing a failed or worn 2-pole 240V breaker in GE panels that require Type TQD designs
• Retrofit projects where 225A capacity aligns with feeder loads or motor circuits
• Maintenance and lifecycle upgrades for commercial or light industrial electrical distributions

Installation and practical tips

• Always power down the main disconnect and discharge any stored energy before handling the breaker.
• Verify panel labeling to confirm that Type TQD and a 225A, 2-pole configuration are supported.
• Follow OEM torque specifications for terminal connections to ensure a secure, code-compliant fit.
• Keep a record of the exact part number (TQD22225X2) for future replacements and maintenance logs.

What sets it apart

Unlike generic replacements, this GE TQD22225X2 is specifically chosen for compatibility with GE panels that require a 2-pole, 225A, 240V protection device. Its exact specifications help ensure coordinated protection across the distribution system, reduce mismatch risks, and support reliable operation of high-demand circuits without compromising safety.
