Product FAQs

5 answers
Can I install the THQB1140 in a GE PowerMark Gold load center?

No. The THQB1140 is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for GE A-Series panelboards and AQ lighting panels. PowerMark Gold load centers require plug-in THQL series breakers.

What are the lug tightening torque specifications for the THQB1140?

The required torque depends on the wire gauge being installed. Torque 8 AWG wire to 40 in-lb, 6 AWG to 4 AWG wire to 45 in-lb, and 3 AWG wire to 50 in-lb.

What is the 22kAIC equivalent of the THQB1140?

If your panel requires a 22kAIC interrupting rating, you cannot use the standard 10kAIC THQB1140. You must source the THHQB1140, which shares the same physical dimensions and mounting but offers the higher short-circuit rating.

Does the THQB1140 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?

No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker that provides long-time and instantaneous trip functions for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not contain GFCI or AFCI circuitry.

Will the THQB1140 fit in a GE RE-Series panelboard?

No. GE RE-Series panelboards are designed to accept TEY frame circuit breakers. The THQB1140 is only compatible with A-Series and AQ lighting panels.

    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.
