GE THQB2160 60A Breaker Overview

The GE THQB2160 is a standard miniature circuit breaker rated at 60 amps for 120/240V AC single-phase systems. It features a two-pole design with a bolt-on mounting style for secure installation in compatible load centers. This UL Listed device carries a maximum AIR rating of 10kA at the rated voltage. It is intended for electrical professionals and homeowners updating panel protection.

Compatibility Check Before Purchase

Verify that your panel accepts the THQB series bolt-on frame size of 100A before ordering this breaker. Ensure the available space accommodates the 3.5 inch length and 1 inch width dimensions for proper fit. Confirm your wiring falls within the 8 AWG minimum to 3 AWG maximum wire size range for the terminal lugs. This unit is not rated for any DC voltage applications.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous operation the breaker manages heat within its 100A frame size while maintaining the 60A trip threshold. The 10kA interrupting capacity ensures reliable fault clearing during prolonged overcurrent events rather than momentary spikes. Toggle actuator operation remains consistent through repeated thermal cycling in lighting panel environments. Designed for standard AC panel duty rather than motor-start or high-inrush applications.

Questions about this item

Does the GE THQB2160 come with mounting hardware or do I need to buy bolts separately?

The breaker uses a bolt‑on mounting style and includes integral lug terminals for 8‑3 AWG wire; separate mounting bolts are not included.

Should I choose the 60 A two‑pole version or a different ampere rating for my panel?

Select the 60 A two‑pole model when the circuit requires 60 amperes at 120/240 V AC; other ampere ratings are sold as separate part numbers.

What does the 10 kA AIR rating mean for my service panel?

The 10 kA interrupting rating at 120/240 V AC means the breaker can safely clear fault currents up to 10 000 amperes in a listed load center or lighting panel.
