The GE THHQB2120 is a bolt-in (bolt-on) breaker from GE's THHQB frame series, designed for installation in GE panelboards and loadcentres that accept bolt-on style breakers — including select GE PowerMark Gold and THHQB-compatible commercial panelboards. It is not a plug-in (THQL/THQP) type and is not interchangeable with plug-in GE loadcentres. With a 22kA interrupting rating, it is well-suited for both residential feeder panels and light commercial panelboard applications where higher fault-current capacity is required.

The THHQB2120 and THQB2120 are both 2-pole, 20A, 240V bolt-on GE breakers, but they differ in interrupting capacity. The THHQB2120 carries a higher 22kA interrupting rating, making it suitable for installations with greater available fault current, such as commercial panelboards or panels fed closer to the utility transformer. The THQB series typically has a lower kA rating. Always verify your panel's required interrupting capacity before selecting a replacement.
GE's breaker product lines have undergone transitions over the years, and certain THHQB series breakers can be difficult to find through standard distribution channels. Northern Breaker Group specializes in obsolete and hard-to-find breakers and maintains access to new, reconditioned, and surplus stock. Contact our Calgary, Edmonton, or Vancouver counter for current availability and to request a quote.
Yes — the THHQB2120's 2-pole, 240V configuration and 22kA interrupting capacity make it appropriate for protecting 240V branch circuits or sub-feed applications in compatible GE bolt-on panelboards. Ensure the panelboard's bus rating and available fault current align with the breaker's 20A continuous rating and 22kA AIC. If you're unsure whether your panelboard is compatible, share the panel model with our team and we'll verify the fit.
