Product FAQs
6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the THHQB32050ST1 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series, GE AQ, and ABB ReliaGear panelboards that accept THQB frame breakers.
What does the ST1 suffix indicate on the THHQB32050ST1 catalog number?
The ST1 suffix indicates that this breaker is factory-equipped with a 120VAC shunt trip accessory, which allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via an external control signal.
What is the difference between THHQB and standard THQB breakers?
The H in the THHQB prefix designates a higher interrupting capacity. The THHQB32050ST1 is rated for 22kAIC at 240VAC, while standard THQB breakers are typically rated at 10kAIC.
Will the THHQB32050ST1 be branded as ABB or General Electric?
Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, Q-Line breakers may be branded as either ABB or GE. Both versions are identical in form, fit, and function, and serve as exact replacements for existing installations.
How does the THHQB32050ST1 connect to the panelboard bus?
This breaker utilizes a bolt-on connection type. It must be physically bolted to the panelboard bus bars, providing a secure connection suitable for commercial and industrial environments, unlike plug-in THQL variants.
Does the THHQB32050ST1 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. This is a standard thermal magnetic breaker providing long-time and instantaneous overcurrent and short-circuit protection. It does not include GFCI or AFCI capabilities.
