Product FAQs

6 answers
What is the purpose of the switching neutral feature on the THQL31WY20?

The switching neutral design simultaneously disconnects the ungrounded conductors and the neutral conductor when the breaker trips or is manually turned off. This is typically required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for specialized applications like fuel dispensing equipment to ensure complete electrical isolation.

How many panel spaces does the THQL31WY20 occupy?

This breaker requires three standard 1-inch spaces in a GE PowerMark Gold load center or AQ lighting panel. It utilizes two spaces for the thermal-magnetic poles and one space for the non-automatic neutral switching pole.

Is the THQL31WY20 designed for 3-phase electrical systems?

No. Although it occupies three panel spaces, it is strictly rated for 120/240VAC single-phase systems. The third pole is dedicated exclusively to disconnecting the neutral conductor, not a third phase.

Does the neutral pole on this breaker provide overcurrent protection?

No. The neutral pole on the THQL31WY20 is non-automatic, meaning it acts only as a switch to open the neutral circuit when the breaker is manually operated or when the two thermal-magnetic hot poles trip due to an overload or short circuit.

What does the WY suffix indicate in the THQL31WY20 catalog number?

In GE Q-Line nomenclature, the WY suffix designates a switching neutral circuit breaker. This indicates the breaker includes an additional non-automatic pole specifically for disconnecting the neutral conductor.

Are ABB and GE THQL31WY20 breakers interchangeable?

Yes. Following ABB acquiring GE Industrial Solutions, Q-Line breakers are manufactured to the identical form, fit, and function. The breaker may feature either ABB or GE branding but remains the exact same component.
