Product FAQs

6 answers
Why is this circuit breaker listed under both ABB and General Electric?

ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, and the legacy GE residential electrical line is transitioning to the ABB ReliaHome brand. The THQL2140 is the exact same OEM breaker, built to the identical specifications, and is fully compatible with both older GE PowerMark Gold and newer ABB ReliaHome load centers.

What is the difference between GE THQL and THQP circuit breakers?

THQL breakers are standard full-size breakers measuring 1 inch wide per pole, making the 2-pole THQL2140 exactly 2 inches wide. THQP breakers are space-saving half-inch breakers. They are not physically interchangeable unless your panel is specifically designed with the cruciform busbars required to accept the narrower THQP style.

Can I use the THQL2140 to replace an older TQL circuit breaker?

Yes, the THQL series is the direct, modern OEM replacement for legacy TQL series plug-in circuit breakers originally used in older General Electric load centers.

Is the THQL2140 rated for use with HVAC equipment?

Yes, standard GE Q-Line thermal-magnetic breakers are HACR rated (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration), making them suitable and code-compliant for protecting branch circuits that supply HVAC motors and compressors.

Can I install a GE THQL breaker in a Square D or Siemens electrical panel if it physically fits?

No. You must only install circuit breakers that are explicitly UL listed for your specific load center. Installing a GE THQL breaker in a competitor's panel violates electrical codes and voids the UL listing. Always refer to the manufacturer's label inside your panel door for a list of approved breaker types.

Does the THQL2140 provide AFCI or GFCI protection?

No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed strictly for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not contain Arc Fault (AFCI) or Ground Fault (GFCI) technology.
