- High interrupting capacity protects circuits up to 22 kA
- 100 A rating handles heavy three-phase loads
- Plug-in mounting fits Power Mark Gold and AQ panels
- Three-pole design breaks all phases simultaneously
- Compact 3.3 in frame saves panel space
GE THHQL32100 100A Three-Pole Breaker
This GE THHQL series miniature circuit breaker delivers 100 A protection across three poles at 120/240 V AC. It uses a plug-in mounting style with a toggle actuator for direct installation into compatible load centres. The unit carries a 22 kA interrupting rating at the rated voltage. It fits Power Mark Gold load centres and AQ lighting panels.
High Interrupting Capacity Under Sustained Fault
The breaker is rated for 22 kA AIR at 120/240 V AC, meaning it can clear high-energy short circuits without damage. Its thermal-magnetic trip mechanism responds to both prolonged overloads and instantaneous faults. The three-pole construction disconnects all phases simultaneously during a fault event. Lug terminals accept standard conductors for secure connection.
Upgrades Standard Interrupting Breakers In AQ Panels
This model replaces lower AIR-rated breakers in GE AQ series panelboards where available fault current exceeds standard ratings. The jump is justified when a load-centre audit shows prospective short-circuit current above 10 kA. It is not suited for DC circuits or panels outside the AQ and Power Mark Gold families. Builders needing DC-rated or higher-voltage protection must select a different series.

Questions about this item
Does the 100 A three-pole breaker run hot or draw extra power when it stays on continuously?
The breaker is a passive toggle device; it carries the 100 A load without active electronics, so it adds no measurable heat or power draw beyond normal conductor losses.
Which load-centre series must already be installed for the THHQL32100 to plug in?
It is designed for Power Mark Gold load centres and AQ lighting panels that accept the THQ frame size.
Will the 22 kA interrupting rating coordinate with older 10 kA breakers still in the same panel?
Yes, the higher 22 kA AIR rating at 120/240 V AC provides a wider fault-current margin and will trip selectively with lower-rated downstream devices.
