Product FAQs
5 answers
Can I install the THQP145 in any GE PowerMark load center?
While it is compatible with GE PowerMark Gold and PowerMark Plus load centers, the panel must specifically support half-inch THQP breakers. Not all slots in these panels have the required cross-shaped bus tabs to accept them.
What is the physical width of the THQP145 breaker?
As part of the THQP frame family, this is a half-inch wide miniature circuit breaker. It is designed to save space by allowing two single-pole breakers to occupy a single one-inch panel slot.
How does the plug-in connection of a THQP breaker differ from a standard THQL?
THQP breakers mount horizontally across the bus stabs rather than vertically. Your panel must have the specialized rejection clips and cross-shaped tabs to accept this half-inch design.
Is the THQP145 considered a tandem breaker?
The THQP145 is a standalone half-inch breaker, not a single-body tandem breaker. However, installing two THQP breakers side by side in a compatible panel achieves the same space-saving result as a tandem breaker.
Can I force this half-inch breaker into a standard one-inch slot if it does not fit?
No. If the breaker does not easily snap onto the bus, the slot is likely designed only for full-size one-inch breakers. Modifying the breaker or the panel bus to force a fit is a severe safety hazard and violates electrical codes.
