Product FAQs

7 answers
What panelboards are compatible with the THQB1120ST1 circuit breaker?

This bolt-on Q-Line miniature breaker fits GE A-Series panelboards, including AQ and AL lighting panels, and ABB ReliaGear RQ panelboards.

Can I install the THQB1120ST1 in a standard residential load center?

No. The THQB series features a bolt-on connection designed for commercial panelboards. It will not fit in standard plug-on load centers that require THQL series breakers.

Are GE and ABB THQB circuit breakers interchangeable?

Yes. Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, THQB breakers are manufactured by ABB. A GE-branded and an ABB-branded THQB1120ST1 share the exact same catalog number, form factor, and safety listings.

How many panel spaces does the THQB1120ST1 require?

Although it is a 1-pole breaker, it requires two 1-inch pole spaces in the panel. One space houses the standard 20A breaker mechanism, and the second space accommodates the factory-installed shunt trip module.

What does the ST1 suffix indicate on this circuit breaker?

The ST1 suffix specifies that the breaker includes a factory-installed 120V AC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely when control voltage is applied to the accessory.

How is the shunt trip function activated on the THQB1120ST1?

The shunt trip is typically wired to a momentary pushbutton, emergency stop, or safety relay. Applying 120V AC to the accessory wires electrically actuates the internal mechanism to instantly open the breaker contacts.

Do I need to manually reset the breaker after a remote shunt trip?

Yes. Once the shunt trip accessory opens the breaker, the operating handle moves to the tripped position. You must manually move the handle fully to the OFF position and then back to the ON position to restore power.

    Hard to find older style breakers

    I am pleased to have access to these breakers. We have a number of them at our church. Local suppliers said that they had never seen this kind of breaker. They fit our panel perfectly.
