Product FAQs

7 answers
Which commercial panelboards accept the THQB2180?

This bolt-on breaker is engineered for GE and ABB A-Series panelboards. It is most commonly installed in AQ panelboards used for 208Y/120V and 120/240V distribution systems.

Can the THQB2180 be installed in standard GE residential load centers?

No. This unit features a bolt-on mounting design for commercial panelboards. It will not fit into standard GE load centers, which require plug-on Q-Line breakers like the THQL series.

Is there a 22kAIC version available for higher fault-current systems?

Yes. While the standard THQB2180 has a 10kAIC rating, applications requiring a 22kAIC interrupting capacity at 120/240VAC can use the direct heavy-duty equivalent, catalog number THHQB2180.

Are there special termination requirements when using aluminum wire?

Yes. When connecting 4 to 1/0 AWG aluminum conductors to the box lugs, installers should wire-brush the exposed conductor and apply an approved oxide-inhibiting compound before tightening to prevent corrosion and ensure a reliable connection.

What is the maximum continuous load permitted for this 80-amp breaker?

Standard miniature circuit breakers like the THQB2180 are rated for 80 percent continuous duty. For continuous loads lasting three hours or more, the maximum permitted draw is 64 amps.

Is this circuit breaker HACR rated?

Yes. All THQB circuit breakers are HACR rated, making this unit suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires multi-motor short-circuit protection.

Does this breaker provide ground-fault or arc-fault protection?

No. The THQB2180 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker with long-time and instantaneous trip functions. It does not contain the specialized circuitry required for equipment protection, personnel ground-fault protection, or arc-fault detection.

    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.
