General Electric Company THED113020 Circuit Breaker

General Electric's THED113020 circuit breaker is a 1-pole device rated for 20 amps at 277 volts. This GE part provides overcurrent protection for a single electrical circuit by interrupting current when a fault or overload occurs. The THED113020 designation identifies this 20 A, 277 V unit within GE's line of electrical distribution breakers. With its single-pole design, it protects a single hot conductor in installations that require a 20 amp rating and 277-volt operation. Circuit breakers are safety devices used in electrical panels to automatically disconnect power if the current exceeds the rated limit, reducing the risk of wiring damage and fire. The 277-volt rating specifies the maximum voltage between the live conductor and return path for which this device is designed to interrupt, making it suitable for use on 277 V branch circuits in compliant electrical systems. The 20 A, 277 V rating indicates it is designed for higher-voltage circuits with moderate current protection needs.
