Product FAQs

4 answers
Which GE panelboards accept the THHQB32040 circuit breaker?

The THHQB32040 is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for installation in GE A-Series panelboards and GE AQ lighting panels.

Can I use the THHQB32040 to replace a standard THQB32040 breaker?

Yes. The THHQB32040 shares the same physical dimensions and bolt-on mounting as the THQB32040, but offers a higher interrupting rating of 22kAIC compared to the standard 10kAIC. It is a direct upgrade for systems requiring higher fault current protection.

What are the acceptable wire sizes for the THHQB32040 terminals?

The box lug terminals on this breaker are rated to accept 8 AWG through 3 AWG wire. They are compatible with both copper and aluminum conductors.

Is the GE THHQB32040 suitable for HVAC applications?

Yes, this circuit breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for safe use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
