Product FAQs

5 answers
What does the ST1 suffix mean on this THQB breaker?

The ST1 suffix indicates that this model features a factory-installed 120V AC shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via an external control signal, which is commonly required for emergency stops, fire alarm systems, or equipment shutdown circuits.

Are ABB and General Electric THQB breakers the same?

Yes. Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, they continue to manufacture the THQB product line under the exact same catalog numbers. An ABB-branded THQB32050ST1 is a direct, interchangeable replacement for a legacy GE-branded breaker of the same model.

Can I install this bolt-on breaker in a standard GE residential load center?

No. THQB breakers utilize a bolt-on mounting design and are strictly for use in commercial lighting and distribution panels like the GE A-Series or AQ panels. If you need a breaker for a standard GE load center, you must use a plug-in THQL series breaker.

Is this 240V-rated breaker suitable for use on 208V commercial power systems?

Yes. Although its maximum rating is 240V AC, this three-pole breaker is fully compatible with 208V and 208Y/120V three-phase systems standard in commercial facilities. It carries a 10kA interrupting rating at 208V.

Does the THQB32050ST1 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?

No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker featuring long-time and instantaneous trip functions to protect against overloads and short circuits. It does not include GFCI or AFCI protection.

    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.
