Product FAQs
5 answersWhat does the HID suffix mean on the THQL2130HID?
The HID (High Intensity Discharge) designation indicates the breaker is engineered to handle the high inrush current and voltage spikes that occur when gaseous discharge lamps, such as HID and fluorescent lighting, are switched on and off.
What is the difference between GE THQL and THQP circuit breakers?
THQL breakers are full-size, 1-inch wide per pole plug-in breakers. THQP breakers are half-inch wide slim or tandem breakers. The THQL2130HID is a full-size 2-inch wide breaker (1 inch per pole) and will not fit in slots strictly designated for half-inch THQP breakers.
Which electrical panels are compatible with the THQL2130HID?
This breaker is designed for use in GE A-Series panelboards, GE PowerMark Gold load centers, and GE AQ lighting panels that accept 1-inch plug-in Q-Line breakers. Verify compatibility with your specific panel labeling before installation.
What wire sizes are accepted by the box lugs on this 30A breaker?
The terminals accept 14 to 8 AWG copper wire or 12 to 8 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure connections are tightened to the torque specifications printed directly on the breaker label.
Is the THQL2130HID HACR rated for HVAC equipment?
Yes, GE Q-Line breakers like the THQL2130HID are HACR rated, making them suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 30A, 2-pole breaker.
