Product FAQs
4 answers
Which load centers and panelboards accept the TQL32010 breaker?
It is compatible with GE A-Series panelboards, PowerMark Gold load centers, and GE lighting panels designed to accept 3-pole Q-Line plug-in circuit breakers.
What is the difference between the TQL32010 and the THQL32010?
The TQL32010 is an older model with a 5kAIC interrupting rating. The THQL32010 is its direct replacement, offering a higher 10kAIC rating. Upgrading to a higher AIC rating is generally acceptable in compatible GE panels.
What wire gauge is required for the box lugs on this breaker?
The terminals accommodate 14 to 8 AWG copper wire or 12 to 8 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure connections are tightened to the torque specifications listed on your panel label.
What type of protection does the LI trip function provide?
The LI code indicates Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The long-time element provides thermal protection against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous magnetic element protects against sudden short circuits.
