Product FAQs
7 answersHow does the GE THQC32040WL mount inside a panel?
This breaker features a feed-thru, lug-to-lug design and mounts directly onto standard 35mm DIN rails. It is commonly used in OEM control panels and compatible enclosures rather than plugging into a standard load center busbar.
What does the WL suffix indicate on the THQC32040WL catalog number?
The WL suffix stands for With Lugs. It indicates that both the line and load lugs are factory-installed on the breaker, allowing for direct cable-in and cable-out connections.
Can I use this 3-pole THQC breaker in a standard GE residential load center?
No. The THQC32040WL is a DIN rail mounted, feed-thru breaker designed for OEM panels and specific enclosures. It does not have the plug-in or bolt-on clips required to attach to a standard GE residential load center busbar.
What type of applications is the THQC32040WL typically used for?
With its 35mm DIN rail mounting and feed-thru lug design, this 40A breaker is frequently used by panel builders for motor control circuits, industrial machinery, and custom OEM control cabinets requiring 240VAC 3-phase protection.
Does the THQC32040WL feature an internal common trip?
Yes. As part of the GE Q-Line series, this 3-pole breaker includes an internal common trip mechanism. If an overload or short circuit is detected on any single pole, all three poles will trip simultaneously to safely disconnect the circuit.
How does the THQC32040WL indicate that it has tripped?
Like other GE Q-Line breakers, it features a visual trip indicator. When a fault occurs, the handle moves to a center position, making it easy to identify a tripped breaker in a crowded control panel.
Is the trip point on the THQC32040WL adjustable?
No. This breaker features a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time thermal and instantaneous magnetic trip functions are factory-set and cannot be adjusted in the field.

- POPaul O.Verified BuyerReviewingABB / General Electric THQC2150 - 50A 2 Pole Molded Case Circuit BreakerI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars9/3/26Recent Breaker Purchases
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!
