My 200 amp GE service panel uses four single pole 100 amp breakers with two in parallel to provide two legs of 200 amp capacity.
Bob, I was told by a GE engineer that those 4-section GE main breakers consist of a 2-pole 100a breaker paralleled by a pair of non-current-sensing contacts in the outer cases, solely for the purpose of lower overall contact resistance.
