Description
Serving as a standard component for older electrical systems, the TQL32050 provides 50 amps of thermal-magnetic protection across three poles. It fits seamlessly into legacy GE A-Series panelboards, PowerMark Gold load centers, and compatible lighting panels. While this specific 5kAIC unit is often replaced by the modern THQL32050, it remains an exact match for existing setups requiring original Q-Line specifications.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersCan I install the TQL32050 in a modern GE PowerMark Gold load center?
Yes, this plug-on breaker is fully compatible with GE PowerMark Gold load centers, as well as legacy GE A-Series panelboards and GE lighting panels.
How much panel space does the TQL32050 require?
As a standard full-size Q-Line breaker, it requires three 1-inch spaces (3 inches total) on the panel bus bar. It cannot be installed in slots restricted to half-inch THQP breakers.
What is the modern equivalent or replacement for the TQL32050?
The THQL32050 is the direct modern replacement for this older TQL series breaker. It shares the same physical dimensions and plug-on mounting style for GE load centers.
Can I use this GE Q-Line breaker in a Siemens or Square D panel?
No. This breaker is specifically designed and listed for compatible GE panels. Mixing breaker brands outside of UL-classified replacements violates safety listings and compromises panel integrity.
What does the LI trip function indicate on this breaker?
The LI code means the breaker uses a thermal-magnetic mechanism to provide Long-Time (thermal) protection against sustained overloads and Instantaneous (magnetic) protection against short circuits.
Can the trip settings on the TQL32050 be adjusted for specific load requirements?
No, this molded case circuit breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip setting. It does not have adjustable dials for the long-time or instantaneous trip functions.
Does the TQL32050 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker. It does not contain GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) or AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) circuitry.
