GE circuit breakers with catalog numbers ranging from THQL1115 through to THQL1150 can be substituted like for like with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers coded CL115 through to CL150, ITE Siemens circuit breakers coded Q115 through to Q150 and Square D circuit breakers coded HOM115 through to HOM150. These are single pole breakers. GE circuit breakers with catalog codes from THQL2115 through to THQL2150 can be substituted with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers CL215 through to CL250, Square D circuit breakers HOM215 through to HOM250 and ITE Siemens circuit breakers Q215 through to Q250 of the same amperage and voltage. These are double pole breakers.

Yes, as long as the lug connects to the panel thye same way.
The maximum number of circuit breakers in a breaker box depends on the size and capacity of the box. Standard residential breaker boxes typically accommodate between 20 to 40 circuit breakers. Specialty or commercial boxes can have more, up to 80 or even 100 breakers.
Fuse boxes or circuit breakers help prevent electrical fires by interrupting the flow of electricity when there is an overload or short circuit. This can protect the wiring in the house from overheating and causing a fire. Additionally, they make it easier to identify and address electrical issues, improving overall safety in the home.
