Product FAQs

7 answers
How does the THQC2160 mount in a panel or enclosure?

The THQC2160 is a lug-to-lug (cable-in, cable-out) breaker that mounts on a standard 35mm DIN rail. This makes it ideal for OEM control panels and standalone enclosures that do not use a standard load center busbar.

What is the difference between GE THQC, THQB, and THQL breakers?

While all belong to the GE Q-Line family of compact 1-inch per pole breakers, they differ in their mounting methods. THQC is a lug-to-lug breaker designed for 35mm DIN rail mounting. THQB is a bolt-on breaker, and THQL is a plug-in breaker for standard GE load centers.

Can I install the THQC2160 into a standard residential GE load center?

No, standard GE PowerMark load centers require plug-in THQL or THQP breakers. The THQC2160 is a DIN rail-mounted, lug-to-lug breaker typically used in control panels or OEM equipment, and it will not attach to residential panel busbars.

Are the lugs on the THQC2160 rated for both copper and aluminum wire?

Yes, because this is a lug-to-lug breaker, it features built-in mechanical lugs on both the line and load sides. These lugs are dual-rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) conductors and accept wire sizes from 8 AWG to 3 AWG.

Is the THQC2160 HACR rated?

Yes, this Q-Line circuit breaker is UL Listed as HACR rated. This means it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific overcurrent protection standard.

What does the LI trip function mean on this breaker?

The LI designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time (thermal) protection against sustained overloads and Instantaneous (magnetic) protection against short circuits. Both the thermal and magnetic trip points are fixed on this model.

Is this breaker manufactured by ABB or General Electric?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. The THQC2160 is part of the legacy GE Q-Line, but new stock is now manufactured and branded under ABB. Both brand names represent the exact same product and are fully interchangeable.

    These breakers matched perfectly for my main AC supplies for my boat. I had the original 43-year-old Chinese (GenFu) breakers that failed and these GEs were a perfect match. My only reservation for not providing a 5-star review is breakers do not arrive in GE's original packaging which can lead to questions whether they are truly "new" breakers. Otherewise, happy I found some that replaced my originals. Thanks SB!

    Everything worked out just fine. I would recommend it again.

    Considering how old the panel was the breaker worked out just fine. Were you again?
