ABB / General Electric THQL1130 Miniature Circuit Breaker

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, integrating the Q-Line circuit breaker family into its own catalog. The product you receive might carry either ABB or General Electric labeling, but it is the exact same OEM component and is universally compatible where THQL frames are specified.

Only if your panel has a full 1-inch space available and is designed to accept THQL breakers. THQL and THQP breakers use completely different bus connections. Many GE PowerMark Gold load centers accept both, but you must verify your specific panel layout and bus configuration before substituting.

Yes, it carries an HACR rating. It is properly listed for branch circuit protection of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that specifies HACR-rated circuit breakers.

No, standard single-pole THQL breakers are listed for only one conductor per terminal. If your installation requires multiple wires on a single circuit, you must use a wire nut or splicing block to create a pigtail, landing only one properly sized conductor on the breaker lug.

No. Switching Duty (SWD) ratings are strictly limited to 15A and 20A breakers. While ABB and GE do manufacture specialized HID-rated Q-Line breakers for high-intensity discharge lighting, the standard THQL1130 does not carry an HID classification.

Yes, it is fully backward compatible with legacy GE Q-Line and PowerMark Gold load centers that accept standard 1-inch plug-on circuit breakers.

No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker providing only overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) functionality.
