Product FAQs
6 answersWhat equipment is the TMQB2160 designed to be installed in?
This breaker is specifically engineered for use as a tenant main breaker in GE Meter Mod III modular metering stacks. It is not intended for standard residential load centers.
Can I use the TMQB2160 in a standard GE PowerMark Gold load center?
No. Standard GE load centers require THQL or THQP plug-on breakers. The TMQB series is a bolt-on breaker designed exclusively for GE modular metering stacks.
How does the TMQB2160 mount into the meter stack?
It utilizes a bolt-on mounting style that fastens directly to the buswork of GE Meter Mod III metering equipment, providing a secure and reliable connection for multi-family tenant mains.
Does the TMQB2160 provide arc-fault or ground-fault protection?
No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker that provides long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not feature AFCI or GFCI capabilities.
Is the TMQB2160 suitable for 3-phase applications?
No. The TMQB2160 is a 2-pole breaker designed strictly for single-phase, 3-wire systems. It cannot be used for 3-phase loads.
Who manufactures the TMQB2160?
The TMQB2160 was originally manufactured by General Electric. Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, these breakers are now produced and supported under the combined ABB / General Electric brand.
