Product FAQs
7 answers
What is the difference between GE THQP and THQL circuit breakers?
THQP breakers are half-inch wide per pole, designed to save space in compatible panels. A 2-pole THQP breaker takes up 1 inch of total panel space. THQL breakers are full-size, measuring 1 inch wide per pole. You can only use THQP breakers in GE load centers that specifically list them as acceptable on the panel label.
Which load centers are compatible with the THQP220 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in GE Q-Line and PowerMark Gold load centers. However, it will only fit in panel positions that are specifically notched and labeled to accept half-inch THQP breakers.
How much panel space does the THQP220 require?
The THQP220 is a 2-pole thin breaker. Because each pole is 1/2-inch wide, the entire breaker requires 1 inch of total panel space, which is equivalent to one standard full-size slot.
Is the THQP220 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 20-amp, 2-pole circuit.
What wire sizes are accepted by the box lugs on the THQP220?
The terminals accept 14 AWG to 8 AWG copper wire, or 12 AWG to 8 AWG aluminum wire.
Does the THQP220 feature a common trip mechanism?
Yes, this 2-pole breaker includes an internal common trip. If one pole experiences an overload or short circuit, both poles will trip simultaneously to disconnect power to the entire 240V circuit.
Are ABB and GE THQP breakers the same?
Yes. ABB acquired GE Industrial Solutions, so THQP breakers may be branded as either ABB or General Electric. They are the exact same product and are fully interchangeable in compatible GE panels.
