Overview
The General Electric HACR NE 2805 is a 2-pole circuit breaker rated for 40 amperes, designed for use in General Electric load centers and panelboards. The HACR (Hot and Neutral insulated, Arc Resistant) designation indicates this breaker provides enhanced protection suitable for air conditioning and heat pump applications, as well as general-purpose branch circuit protection. This unit comes in new, open-box condition and is ready for immediate installation.
Key Features
- 2-pole configuration for 120/240 VAC single-phase circuits
- 40A rated amperage for reliable overload and short-circuit protection
- HACR-rated for air conditioning, heat pump, and thermal protection applications
- Load center mount design—bolt-on or plug-on compatibility with GE panelboards
- Quick-trip mechanism for fast fault interruption
- New, open-box condition—fully functional and inspected
