General Electric Company THQB2135 Circuit Breaker

The General Electric THQB2135 is a dedicated 2-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed specifically to manage fault currents within 120/240-volt, 60-hertz residential split-phase electrical power systems. It maintains a fixed continuous current rating of 35 amperes while providing a rated maximum interrupting capacity of 10 kiliamperes to mitigate damage from severe short circuits effectively. Due to its standard plug-on construction style, this unit mounts securely onto compatible General Electric branded AC load center panels without necessitating separate mounting bolts or auxiliary hardware components. Technicians frequently utilize this model to upgrade legacy service entries, relying on its capabilities to safeguard high-load equipment like central air conditioning compressors and submersible well pumps from dangerous electrical faults. By enforcing defined current limits, this breaker ensures the connected 240-volt circuits remain operational and aligned with typical code compliance requirements regarding standard overcurrent protection strategies.
