Product FAQs
8 answersWhat panels are compatible with the THQL21WY15 circuit breaker?
This Q-Line plug-in breaker is designed for use in GE and ABB Power Mark Gold load centers, as well as AQ lighting panels.
What does the WY suffix indicate on the THQL21WY15?
The WY designates this as a switched neutral (or neutral cut-off) circuit breaker. It is built to disconnect both the ungrounded (hot) and grounded (neutral) conductors simultaneously when tripped or manually turned off.
What applications typically require a switched neutral breaker like the THQL21WY15?
Switched neutral breakers are commonly required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for specific installations, such as fuel dispensing equipment, where disconnecting the neutral is necessary to prevent spark hazards in explosive atmospheres.
Can I substitute a standard 2-pole breaker for the THQL21WY15?
No. If your installation requires a switched neutral disconnect to comply with safety codes, a standard 2-pole breaker cannot be used as a replacement.
Will the THQL21WY15 I receive be branded as GE or ABB?
Because ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, this Q-Line breaker may arrive with either GE or ABB branding. The breakers are manufactured to the exact same specifications and are fully interchangeable.
Does the THQL21WY15 include arc fault or ground fault protection?
No. This is a thermal-magnetic breaker that provides standard overload and short-circuit protection. It does not feature AFCI or GFCI capabilities.
What type of trip functions are included in the THQL21WY15?
This breaker utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit, providing both long-time protection for overloads and instantaneous protection for short circuits.
How much panel space is required to install the THQL21WY15?
As a 2-pole Q-Line breaker, it requires two standard 1-inch spaces, taking up a total of 2 inches of width in a compatible load center.
