Product FAQs
6 answersWhich GE load centers and panelboards accept the TQL32015 breaker?
This 3-pole plug-on breaker is compatible with GE A-Series panelboards, PowerMark Gold load centers, and GE lighting panels. It requires three standard 1-inch spaces on the panel bus.
Is the TQL32015 still manufactured, or is there a modern replacement?
The legacy TQL series is obsolete and no longer in production. The modern equivalent is the GE THQL32015, which shares the exact same plug-on footprint but upgrades the interrupting capacity to the current 10 kA standard.
What is the maximum interrupting capacity for the TQL32015?
It is rated for a maximum of 5 kA at 240V AC. Because modern electrical codes often require a minimum of 10 kA for residential and commercial panels, verify your system's available fault current before installing this legacy breaker.
What wire gauges are approved for the TQL32015 box lug terminals?
The lugs accept 14 to 8 AWG copper wire or 12 to 8 AWG aluminum wire. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation to maintain a secure connection and prevent terminal overheating.
Does the TQL32015 require bolt-on hardware for installation?
No, this is a plug-on molded case circuit breaker. It connects directly to the bus stabs in compatible GE load centers without the need for mounting screws or bolts, simplifying the installation process.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit in the TQL32015 operate?
The fixed thermal-magnetic mechanism provides dual protection: a bimetallic strip responds to prolonged overloads (Long-Time protection), while an electromagnetic coil instantly trips the breaker during severe short circuits (Instantaneous protection).
