Product FAQs
7 answers
Can I install the THQB32090ST1 in a standard GE residential load center?
No. This is a bolt-on circuit breaker designed specifically for commercial GE A-Series panelboards and AQ lighting panels. Standard residential GE load centers typically require plug-in style breakers, such as the THQL series.
What does the ST1 suffix mean in the THQB32090ST1 part number?
The ST1 suffix indicates that this breaker includes a factory-installed shunt trip accessory. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely, which is commonly required for emergency stop systems, equipment shutdowns, or fire alarm integration.
How does the shunt trip mechanism on this breaker operate?
The factory-installed shunt trip requires an external voltage signal from a remote switch or relay. When the control voltage is applied to the shunt trip leads, it mechanically trips the breaker to open the circuit.
How does the THQB32090ST1 mount into the panelboard?
This is a bolt-on breaker, meaning it fastens directly to the panelboard bus bars using screws. This provides a highly secure mechanical and electrical connection, which is preferred in commercial and industrial environments subject to vibration.
Do I need special lugs to use aluminum wire with the THQB32090ST1?
No. The factory installed box lugs are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. You can directly terminate 4 to 1/0 AWG aluminum wire or 6 to 1/0 AWG copper wire into the standard lugs.
Is this breaker suitable for high fault current commercial applications?
The THQB32090ST1 has a standard interrupting rating of 10kAIC at 240V AC. If your commercial panel requires a higher short circuit rating, such as 22kAIC, you will need to source a high interrupting THHQB version instead.
Does this breaker provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. The THQB32090ST1 features standard thermal magnetic trip functions for overload and short circuit protection, along with the remote shunt trip capability. It does not include GFCI or AFCI protection.

Customers say these circuit breakers arrive quickly and work as expected. Many reviews mention fast shipping, with some receiving orders overnight or within days. Users report the breakers fit properly, install easily, and function correctly in both residential and commercial applications. Common feedback includes competitive pricing and good packaging that protects products during shipping.

Several contractors and electricians appreciate having access to hard-to-find or obsolete breakers when local suppliers lack inventory.

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.
