40 Amp 2 Pole Circuit Breaker

A 40 Amp 2-pole circuit breaker is an electrical switching device designed to protect electrical circuits from overcurrent and short circuit conditions. It is commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

The "40 Amp" rating indicates the maximum current that the circuit breaker can handle before tripping and interrupting the flow of electricity. It is suitable for circuits that require a maximum current of 40 Amps.

The "2-pole" designation means that the circuit breaker has two separate poles or switches within a single unit. Each pole can independently control and protect a separate circuit. This configuration is commonly used for 240V circuits, where each pole is responsible for one phase of the power supply.

The circuit breaker is designed to automatically trip and interrupt the circuit in the event of an overcurrent or short circuit condition. This helps to prevent damage to the circuit, electrical equipment, and minimize the risk of electrical hazards.
