What would happen should you use a straight 240V rated breaker where a dual or slash rated 120/240V breaker is existing?
Maybe someone here can tell me this. I have a customer with a main breaker that is going bad. It is a GE 225A 120/240V breaker. The number on the breaker is TQD21225.
When trying to find a replacement I keep getting told that number is no good and I should get a TQD22225.
From what I can find out, the "22225" is a straight 240V breaker and not a dual rated 120/240V.
Does anyone know if this is true? If so, what happens if the straight rated breaker is used? Will the 120V loads be protected?
Any GE guys here that can help me on this?
