ABB THQL1130GFEP2 1 Pole Ground Fault Circuit Breaker
The ABB THQL1130GFEP2 is a 1 Pole molded case ground fault circuit breaker with a current rating of 30 Amps and a voltage rating of 120VAC. It has an interrupting rating of 10kAIC.
What is the difference between GFEP and GFCI breakers?
GFEP (Ground Fault Equipment Protection) breakers, like the THQL1130GFEP2, have a 30mA trip threshold designed to protect equipment such as heat tracing, snow melting equipment, and pumps from damage. GFCI breakers have a 5mA trip threshold designed for personnel protection against electric shock.
What load centers are compatible with the THQL1130GFEP2?
This THQL plug-on breaker is compatible with GE PowerMark Gold load centers, GE A-Series panelboards, and ABB ReliaHome load centers that accept 1-inch THQL series breakers.
How is the neutral connection made on this breaker?
The THQL1130GFEP2 features a factory-installed pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the panel to ensure proper ground fault sensing.
What is the trip threshold for this ground fault breaker?
This breaker provides Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) with a 30mA trip sensitivity level. It is not rated for 5mA Class A personnel protection.
Can this breaker be used in place of a standard THQL1130?
Yes, it fits in the same 1-inch space as a standard 1-pole THQL1130 breaker, but it adds 30mA equipment ground fault protection and requires a connection to the panel's neutral bus via the included pigtail.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this 30A breaker?
The box lugs on this breaker accept 14-8 AWG copper or 12-8 AWG aluminum wire. For a 30A circuit, 10 AWG copper or 8 AWG aluminum is typically required by the NEC.
Does this breaker provide arc fault (AFCI) protection?
No, the THQL1130GFEP2 is strictly a ground fault equipment protection (GFEP) breaker. It does not provide arc fault protection.
Is this breaker branded as GE or ABB?
ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions. The THQL1130GFEP2 may arrive with either GE or ABB branding, but the form, fit, and function remain identical and they are UL listed for the same panels.
