Product FAQs

8 answers
What does the ST1 suffix indicate on the THQL2120ST1 part number?

The ST1 suffix designates a factory-installed 120VAC shunt trip. This allows the breaker to be tripped remotely via a 120V control signal for emergency shutdowns or automated control applications.

Will my THQL2120ST1 breaker be branded as GE or ABB?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions in 2018. Depending on the manufacturing date, your breaker may feature either GE or ABB branding. The form, fit, function, and UL listings remain identical regardless of the label.

Is the THQL2120ST1 compatible with bolt-on panelboards?

No, the THQL2120ST1 features a plug-in connection designed for GE Q-Line load centers and plug-on A-Series panelboards. If your panel requires a bolt-on connection, you will need the equivalent THQB2120ST1 breaker.

Is the THQL2120ST1 rated for HVAC equipment?

Yes, GE THQL series breakers are HACR rated. This makes the THQL2120ST1 suitable for protecting heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 20A, 2-pole circuit.

How does the shunt trip function operate on the THQL2120ST1?

The internal shunt trip mechanism requires a separate 120VAC control signal. When 120V is applied to the shunt trip circuit, it mechanically trips the breaker to open the primary contacts.

Can I add a shunt trip to a standard THQL2120 breaker in the field?

No, the 120VAC shunt trip on the THQL2120ST1 is factory-installed. GE Q-Line miniature circuit breakers do not support field-installable shunt trip accessories, so you must order the ST1 version if remote tripping is required.

Does the THQL2120ST1 provide ground fault or arc fault protection?

No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker that provides long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection. It does not include GFCI, AFCI, or dual-function capabilities.

Are the trip settings adjustable on the THQL2120ST1?

No, this breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit. Both the long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit trip functions are factory set and cannot be adjusted.
