Yes. Following ABB's acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions, the THQL series is manufactured under ABB and GE dual branding. The THQL2130 fits and functions perfectly in older GE PowerMark Gold and A-Series panels, as well as new ABB ReliaHome load centers.

No. While both are plug-in breakers for GE panels, they require different bus configurations. The THQL2130 is a standard 1-inch wide per pole breaker. THQP breakers are half-inch wide and only snap onto specialized panel bus tabs designed to accept tandem models. Check your load center diagram to confirm it accepts THQL type breakers.
