GE GETHQB2130 THQB2130 2P30A 120/240V Circuit Breaker

The GE THQB2130 is a 2-pole, 30-amp bolt-on circuit breaker rated for 120/240V service. Designed for use in compatible GE and ABB Q-Line load centers and lighting panels, it provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection with a 10 kA interrupt capacity. The bolt-on mounting style physically secures the breaker to the panel's bus bars, offering a more stable connection than plug-in alternatives—an important consideration in commercial environments or panels subject to vibration. Its quick-make/quick-break mechanism ensures rapid disconnection during fault events, reducing arc energy and potential damage to wiring and connected equipment.

Practical details make the THQB2130 straightforward to work with during installation and maintenance. The trip indicator on the handle lets electricians and homeowners quickly spot a tripped breaker, and the common trip bar design guarantees that both poles open together during any fault, preventing the hazard of a partially energized 240V circuit. At 30 amps, this breaker is sized for typical loads such as electric dryers, water heaters, and small HVAC equipment. While it does not include arc-fault or ground-fault protection, it serves its core purpose—reliable overcurrent protection—with the build quality expected from the GE/ABB brand.
