Q:Will this work on the Square D panel? Needing to add a dryer breaker, so I'm wanting to use the 30amp double single pole model.

Answer This Question

A:  We never recommend using a GE breaker in another manufacturer's panel as it voids the warranty. Thanks for the question.

    Q:What's the difference between the thick double pole 30amp and a thin double pole 30amp circuit breaker? Can I use either one just the same and it'll be ok for an electric dryer?

    A:  The THQP230 performs the same application as the THQL2130 but in half of the space required, but can only be installed in GE load centers that accept THQP space saving breakers. Thank you for your question.

    by|Mar 13, 2024

      A:  Both the thick and thin are for 240 volt circuits. The Thin THQP breakers can only be used in some GE loadcenters. Beware though, the thin THQP breakers used in older GE aluminum bus loadcenters have been known to catch on fire when heavily loaded.

          Q:Will this 50amp 1? breaker accept 6awg wire?

          Answer This Question

          A:  Yes, it will accept #6 wire which is necessary for a 50 amp circuit when using NM cable. Only #8 is required for 50A circuits if the conductors are THHN in conduit.

          by|Mar 18, 2024

            A:  GE's THQP 1- & 2-pole breakers only fit GE panels that can accommodate them. Check your panel's directory decal, which also shows bus bar configuration. If it indicates A and B on some positions (e.g. 25A, 25B, 28A, 28B, etc.), then THQP can be used.

              A:  some brain surgeon needing to rewrite the electrical code whenever they turn him loose has now deemed the number 8awg is no longer fit for a 50 amp breaker. Forcing the industry to rewire 100's of 50 amp house appliances to number #6 wire.

                The product worked in my older (early 90s era) GE load center panel. We installed a 15,000 btu mini-split system that needed a 240v 15a breaker. Lots of 120v 15a breakers, and 20a and 30a 240v breakers in the store, but not the 240v 15a. Was forced to order it online, and wait 5 days for it to be shipped from GE to the store. The breaker itself works fine, and was not a problem to install. Typical GE quality and the competitive price.

                Was purchased to replace a worn out breaker, but returned it only one leg would engage.

                Replacement for the same part after 20 years of being turned on and off. It worked. Happy with my purchase. Didn't know it would be so expensive.
