Product FAQs

10 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the THQB2130 circuit breaker?

This Q-Line bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in ABB and GE AQ Lighting Panels, as well as ReliaGear Panelboards. It requires a bolt-on bus and will not fit in standard plug-on load centers.

How does this breaker connect to the panel bus?

It utilizes a bolt-on mounting style. The breaker physically bolts directly to the panelboard bus connections, providing a highly secure and vibration-resistant contact suitable for commercial applications.

What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on this 30A breaker?

The box lugs accommodate 14 AWG to 8 AWG copper conductors, or 12 AWG to 8 AWG aluminum conductors.

Are ABB THQB2130 and GE THQB2130 the same breaker?

Yes. Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, Q-Line breakers may carry either the ABB or General Electric branding. They are identical in form, fit, and function.

What is the relationship between THQB2130 and THQBB5FAAMAXXXX?

THQB2130 is the standard catalog number for this 30A, 2-pole Q-Line breaker. THQBB5FAAMAXXXX is a specific factory variant SKU used for inventory and sourcing, but it represents the same physical breaker.

Does this 2-pole breaker feature an internal common trip?

Yes. The internal common trip mechanism ensures that if an overload or short circuit occurs on either leg, both poles will open simultaneously to safely disconnect the entire circuit.

Is the THQB2130 rated for use with HVAC equipment?

Yes, this breaker is UL listed for HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) applications. It is commonly used for 30A dedicated circuits supplying water heaters, compressors, and small HVAC units.

Can this breaker be used in multi-wire branch circuits?

Yes. The 2-pole configuration and common trip mechanism make it suitable for dedicated 240V loads as well as 120/240V multi-wire branch circuits, subject to local electrical codes.

What is the difference between the THQB2130 and THHQB2130 breakers?

The THQB2130 is the standard version with a 10 kAIC interrupting rating. The THHQB2130 is the high interrupting version, rated for 22 kAIC at 120/240V AC. Both share the same physical dimensions and bolt-on mounting style.

Are the trip settings adjustable on this breaker?

No. The THQB2130 features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short circuit trip functions are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.

    Hard to find older style breakers

    I am pleased to have access to these breakers. We have a number of them at our church. Local suppliers said that they had never seen this kind of breaker. They fit our panel perfectly.
