AnswerYes ,this breaker can be used with square D panel.
can breakers be used in either 110 or 220v or do i need to buy a specific breaker for 220???
Asked by ANINA March 19, 20196
AnswersYou have neither 110 or 220 so lets call it what it is, 120 and 240. This is a single pole breaker that delivers power to a 120 volt circuit. For a 240 volt circuit you will need a 2-pole breaker. You posted under a THQP thin (1/2") breaker. The 2-pole would be THQP 220. The full sized GE 2-pole breaker would be a THQL 220
