General Electric TQD22Y225 225A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker

Meet the General Electric TQD22Y225 225A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker—an intentional, robust solution for protecting high‑current feeders and 240V circuits in GE panels. With Part Number TQD22Y225, this unit is built to interrupt fault current promptly and safely, keeping wiring, devices, and occupants protected.

What makes it unique

• 225 Amp rating: supports large 240V feeders and heavy-load circuits, reducing the need for frequent replacements in growing installations.
• 2-pole, 240V design: isolates both hot legs at once, preventing dangerous arcing and ensuring complete circuit disconnection when tripped.
• Exact GE replacement (TQD22Y225): matches the torque, terminals, and mounting pattern of GE load centers that use the TQD family for reliable installation and performance.
• Panel compatibility: intended for GE panels and load centers, simplifying ordering and installation when upgrading or maintaining the system.

Ideal use scenarios

• Main service protection in large residential panels or light commercial panels where a 225A main breaker is appropriate.
• Feeder protection for subpanels in retrofit projects, ensuring safe disconnection of high-current circuits.
• Replacement for worn or damaged 2-pole 240V GE breakers to restore protection without panel modification.

Why this matters for your electrical safety and reliability

Providing reliable, simultaneous disconnection of both hot legs reduces the risk of overheating and equipment damage during faults. The 240V rating aligns with standard household and commercial circuits, ensuring compatibility with typical 240V appliances and feeders while maintaining a robust margin for peak loads.

Installation and care tips

Before installation, verify that your GE panel supports 2-pole 240V breakers of the TQD family and that the service rating matches your site requirements. For best results, follow all local electrical codes and manufacturer guidelines, disconnect power at the main, and use proper equipment-handling procedures.

Equip your GE panel with the precise part—TQD22Y225—to ensure a reliable, compatible, and straightforward solution for high‑current 240V protection.
