THQL2170 - 70Amp Circuit Breaker

THQL2170 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

The THQL2170 is a 70 amp, 2 pole circuit breaker used in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. It is part of the THQL Q-Line series and features a plug-on connection for installation in compatible panelboards and load centers.

This breaker is designed to provide overcurrent protection by disconnecting power when an overload or short circuit occurs. The 2-pole configuration is commonly used for larger loads that require 240 volts, including HVAC equipment, air conditioners, compressors, and other high-demand electrical circuits.

The THQL2170 has an interrupting rating of 10kA at 120/240VAC and is HACR rated for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications. Its molded case design helps you to protect internal components during normal operation.
