GE THQP240

• Molded case is molded from high mechanical and high dielectric strength engineered plastic
• Trip indication is shown by handle position midway between ON and off to reset the trip mechanism, move the handle to extreme off then to ON position
• Quick-make, quick-break, trip-free mechanism minimizes arcing during breaker operation, contacts cannot be ''teased'' into position
• Trip-free mechanism is independent of manual handle control, the breaker trips under short circuit or overload, even though the operating handle is held in on position
• VERIFIER™ "twist-to-trip" and ''push-to-trip'' mechanically simulates over current tripping through actuation of linkages not operated by the on-off handle
• Common trip bar assures instant disconnect of all conductors when an overload or short circuit occurs on any one conductor in the circuit or an accessory trip device operates
• Silver alloy contacts combine the conductive properties of silver with other elements for clean, positive electrical contacting, pitting and burning are minimized for longer contact life
• Arc chutes of heat absorbing, insulating material and metal grid plates quickly ''extinguish'' arcs
• UL listed lugs for copper or aluminum cable, at full frame rating, easy access and simple, straight in wiring
• 10 kA at 120 VAC, 10 kA at 120/240 VAC interrupt rating

THQP breakers are a smaller, smarter solution for today cost and quality conscious contractors and homeowners. half the width of standard breakers, they allow use of smaller loadcenters and for maximum savings of space and money. GE is the only manufacturer that gives you this cost advantage without sacrificing flexibility. THQP breakers are one-half the width of standard GE breakers but identical in design. they are available from 15 to 50 A and in 1 and 2-pole construction.
