The GE THQP250 is a 50-amp double-pole circuit breaker designed for residential and commercial electrical panels. This feeder breaker protects circuits from overloads and short circuits, safeguarding wiring and connected appliances while reducing fire risk. Its compact plug-in design fits standard 2-pole slots, taking up just half the space of comparable models while delivering the same reliable performance.
This breaker is ideal for high-current applications such as HVAC systems, water heaters, and electric ranges. The double-pole configuration simultaneously disconnects both hot legs of a 240-volt circuit, providing complete circuit protection. Engineered with a thermal-magnetic trip unit, it combines instant magnetic response for short circuits with thermal delay for overload conditions, ensuring both quick and appropriate protection.
