Product FAQs

6 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the THHQB22050 circuit breaker?

This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series panelboards and ReliaGear lighting panelboards. It will not fit in standard residential Q-Line load centers that require plug-on breakers.

Can I use the THHQB22050 to replace a THQB22050?

Yes. The THHQB22050 shares the same physical dimensions and bolt-on mounting as the THQB22050, but it offers a higher interrupting rating of 22kAIC compared to the 10kAIC rating of the standard THQB version.

What is the difference between the THHQB22050 and the THQL2150?

The THHQB22050 is a bolt-on breaker intended for commercial panelboards, while the THQL2150 is a plug-on breaker designed for residential load centers. They are not interchangeable.

Is the THHQB22050 HACR rated for HVAC equipment?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific overcurrent protection rating.

What are the recommended torque specifications for the box lugs on this 50A breaker?

For the THHQB22050, the required lug tightening torque depends on the wire size: 40 in-lb for #8 AWG, 45 in-lb for #6 to #4 AWG, and 50 in-lb for #3 AWG.

Does the THHQB22050 require a separate hold-down kit when used as a back-fed main breaker?

No. Because the THHQB22050 is a bolt-on breaker, it inherently requires a tool to be removed from the busbar. This satisfies the NEC 408.36(D) requirement for back-fed breakers without needing an additional hold-down kit.
