GE THHQB2160 60 A Circuit Breaker
This GE THHQB2160 is a 60 A, two-pole miniature circuit breaker rated for 120/240 V AC single-phase systems. It provides high interrupting capacity protection for load centers and lighting panels in residential or light commercial electrical installations.
Bolt-on mounting with lug terminals
The breaker uses a bolt-on mounting style designed for compatible bus connections, secured with a terminal connection lug accepting wire from 8 AWG to 3 AWG. A torque wrench is required to meet the manufacturer's specified tightening values, and installers must verify the load center brand matches the THHQB series to avoid fitment issues.
22 kA interrupting rating under fault conditions
With a maximum AIR rating of 22 kA at 120/240 V AC, the device is engineered to safely clear high-energy short circuits without sustained damage. The thermal-magnetic trip unit responds to prolonged overloads and instantaneous faults, maintaining protection integrity during extended fault events rather than only momentary surges.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the breaker trips correctly after installation?
After wiring the 8 AWG to 3 AWG conductors to the lug terminals, switch the toggle on and confirm the handle stays in the ON position under normal load; the 22 kA interrupting rating at 120/240 V AC means it will open safely on a fault.
What comes in the package and what must I supply separately?
The box contains the GE THHQB2160 breaker only; you must provide 8 AWG to 3 AWG copper wire, lug connectors, and a compatible bolt-on load centre or lighting panel bus.
Which THHQB series version should I select for a 60 A two-pole circuit?
Choose the THHQB2160 model — it is the 60 A, 2-pole, 120/240 V AC high-interrupting-capacity breaker with a 22 kA AIR rating and bolt-on mounting for standard load centres.
