GE THHQB1120 20A Single-Pole Breaker
This GE THHQB1120 is a 20 amp miniature circuit breaker built for 120/240 volt AC residential and light-commercial panels. It provides high interrupting capacity protection on a single phase for branch circuits such as lighting, receptacles or small appliances.
Bolt-on mounting for compatible load centers
The breaker uses a bolt-on mounting style that secures directly to the bus connections of GE load centers and lighting panels. Screw-clamp terminals accept copper conductors down to 14 AWG, and the 1-inch width fits standard single-pole spaces without requiring additional panel modifications.
Replaces lower-AIR or plug-on single-pole breakers
With a 22 kA interrupting rating at 120/240V AC, this unit upgrades installations where the existing breaker has a lower AIR value or a plug-on design unsuited to the panel bus. The jump is worthwhile when local code demands higher fault-current protection or when the panel specifies bolt-on THHQB series devices.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum interrupting capacity of the 20A THHQB breaker?
The GE THHQB1120 has a maximum AIR rating of 22kA at 120/240V AC, providing high interrupting capacity for fault protection.
How much heat does the bolt-on THHQB breaker generate during continuous operation?
As a passive electromechanical device, the breaker produces minimal heat under normal 20A load; sustained warmth indicates a loose screw-clamp terminal or an overloaded circuit.
Which load-center bus system is required to mount this single-pole breaker?
The 1-inch wide, bolt-on frame fits GE load centers and lighting panels with a 60A THHQB bus; it accepts 14 AWG minimum wire via screw-clamp terminals.
