Product FAQs

7 answers
Which panelboards accept the THQB2180ST1 circuit breaker?

This breaker is designed specifically for GE AQ Lighting Panels and GE A-Series Panelboards. It will not fit standard plug-on load centers, as it requires a threaded busbar for its bolt-on connection.

What does the ST1 suffix mean on the THQB2180ST1 catalog number?

The ST1 suffix indicates the breaker is equipped with a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip. This accessory allows the breaker to be opened remotely via a control signal, which is often required for emergency shutdown systems.

What are the acceptable wire sizes for the THQB2180ST1 terminals?

The box lugs accept 6 AWG to 1/0 AWG copper conductors, or 4 AWG to 1/0 AWG aluminum conductors. Always verify your wire size meets local electrical codes for an 80-amp circuit.

Is the THQB2180ST1 manufactured by ABB or General Electric?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Because the Q-Line series continued under the same catalog numbers, you may receive a breaker branded as either ABB or GE. Both are identical in form, fit, and function.

How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit operate on the THQB2180ST1?

The breaker uses a fixed Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip mechanism. The thermal element provides a delayed trip for sustained overloads, while the magnetic element trips instantaneously in the event of a short circuit.

Can I use the THQB2180ST1 in a standard GE residential load center?

No. The THQB series features a bolt-on mounting style intended for commercial panelboards. For standard GE residential plug-on load centers, you would need a THQL series breaker instead.

Does the THQB2180ST1 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?

No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker. It does not include Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP), Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), or Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) functions.

    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.
