Product FAQs

6 answers
Is the ABB THQB21100 the same breaker as the GE THQB21100?

Yes. Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, the Q-Line circuit breaker family is now manufactured by ABB. The THQB21100 catalog number, physical dimensions, and electrical specifications remain identical regardless of whether the breaker carries the GE or ABB brand label.

What is the difference between the GE THQB21100 and a THQL21100 circuit breaker?

The THQB21100 features a bolt-on mounting style designed specifically for commercial A-Series panelboards and AQ lighting panels. The THQL series uses a plug-in connection designed for standard residential GE load centers. Because of the distinct mounting designs, these breakers are not interchangeable.

What panelboards are compatible with the THQB21100?

This 100A bolt-on breaker is authorized for use in General Electric A-Series panelboards and GE AQ Lighting Panels. It cannot be installed in GE PowerMark Gold load centers, which require plug-in style breakers.

How is a bolt-on breaker like the THQB21100 installed into the panelboard?

Unlike plug-in breakers that snap onto the bus bar, the THQB21100 is mechanically fastened directly to the panelboard bus using mounting screws. This bolt-on connection provides a secure, highly vibration-resistant contact that is standard for commercial and industrial electrical distribution.

What wire sizes are accepted by the terminal lugs on the THQB21100?

The integrated box lugs accept 6 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper (Cu) wire, or 4 AWG to 1/0 AWG aluminum (Al) wire. Always verify the manufacturer torque specifications printed on the side of the breaker before securing the conductors.

How does the thermal magnetic trip unit operate on this breaker?

This breaker utilizes a fixed Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip function. The Long-Time thermal element protects against sustained overloads by heating a bimetallic strip, while the Instantaneous magnetic element responds immediately to severe short circuits using an internal electromagnet.

    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.
