Product FAQs

4 answers
Which panelboards accept the THQB32045, and how does it differ from THQL breakers?

The THQB32045 is a bolt-on breaker designed for commercial GE A-Series panelboards, AQ lighting panels, and ReliaGear RQ panelboards. It bolts directly to the panel bus, whereas THQL breakers are plug-in style devices for residential load centers. The two mounting styles are not interchangeable.

What are the recommended torque specifications for the box lugs on the THQB32045?

The required tightening torque depends on the wire size used. For 8 AWG wire, torque to 40 in-lb. For 6 AWG to 4 AWG wire, torque to 45 in-lb. For 3 AWG wire, torque to 50 in-lb. The terminals accept both copper and aluminum conductors.

Is the THQB32045 circuit breaker HACR rated?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is UL listed for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires dedicated overcurrent protection.

Why might my THQB32045 breaker arrive with ABB branding instead of General Electric?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Depending on the manufacturing date, the THQB32045 may feature either ABB or GE branding, but the physical dimensions, mounting, and electrical specifications remain identical.

    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.
