Product FAQs

8 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the THQB1120?

This circuit breaker is designed for use with GE A-Series Panelboards, GE AQ Lighting Panels, and ReliaGear RQ Panelboards.

How does the THQB1120 connect to the panel?

It features a bolt-on connection, meaning it screws securely to the panel busbar rather than snapping or plugging into place.

What wire sizes and materials are supported by the THQB1120 terminals?

The box lugs are designed to accept 14 to 8 AWG copper wire and 12 to 8 AWG aluminum wire.

Is the THQB1120 rated for switching duty or HVAC equipment?

Yes. It is SWD rated for switching 120VAC fluorescent lighting loads and HACR rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

What does the LI trip function signify on this breaker?

The LI designation stands for Long-Time and Instantaneous. The fixed thermal element provides long-time protection against sustained overloads, while the fixed magnetic element offers instantaneous protection against short circuits.

What is the difference between GE THQB and THQL breakers?

THQB breakers like the THQB1120 are bolt-on units used primarily in commercial panels and lighting boards. THQL breakers are plug-in style units used in standard residential load centers. They are not interchangeable.

Are ABB and General Electric THQB1120 breakers the exact same part?

Yes. ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions and continues to manufacture the Q-Line series. An ABB THQB1120 and a legacy GE THQB1120 are the exact same bolt-on breaker.

How does the thermal magnetic trip technology in the THQB1120 ensure safety?

The thermal component protects wiring from overheating during gradual overloads by slowly bending a bimetallic strip to trip the breaker. The magnetic component provides instantaneous protection by tripping immediately when it detects a severe short circuit.

    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.
