What breakers are compatible with GE THQL?

Table of Contents

GE Fits GE. The safest route is to use GE circuit breakers with GE breaker boxes.

Siemens fits GE. Siemens breakers can be used in GE breaker boxes, and they are generally known to be compatible.

Third Party Breakers.

What is a 3p breaker?

Three pole circuit breakers deliver 480VAC through three hot wires. Consequently, the breaker needs three separate switches that will work together when needed. It’s effectively three single pole breakers bound together. With connections for five wires, it’s three times the width of the single pole breaker.

What is a 3 pole circuit breaker used for?

Used most often in a three-phase electrical system, a three-pole breaker connects three different conductors, such as is often required by heavy duty industrial motors. When a surge exists anywhere in the system, across one or more of the conductors, the breaker trips, the power bridge collapses, and the circuit opens.

Who makes THQL breakers?

GE Q-Line THQL 20-Amp 1-Pole GFCI Circuit Breaker.

Are all GE circuit breakers the same?

You cannot approach it from the GE panel side, their answer will always be the same: GE. From the standpoint of any panel manufacturer, they NEVER list their panels to be used with anything other than their own breakers.

What does 3P mean in electricity?

three phase electricity
3P is three open, for control of three phase electricity, three incoming line end and three fire lines, generally three – phase electric bus switch and three-phase electrical equipment application.

Can I use a 3-phase breaker for single phase?

A 3p breaker can be used on a 3 phase system using either 2 or 3 poles. A 3p breaker can be used on a 1 phase system only if indicated by the markings as noted below.

Can I use a 3 pole breaker for a single phase circuit?

Resolution: A 3p breaker can be used on a 3 phase system using either 2 or 3 poles. A 3p breaker can be used on a 1 phase system only if indicated by the markings as noted below.

What is GE Q line breaker?

Q line circuit breakers are one-inch wide per pole, compact, thermal-magnetic devices designed for residential and commercial applications. The QC breakers are lug-lug versions of the Q Line and are available for 35mm DIN rail mounting.
