Product Description
The EATON ge-thqp120 is a half-width, single-pole circuit breaker designed for residential and light commercial load centers where panel space is limited. Based on the THQP series design, this breaker matches the footprint of standard GE-style breakers at one-half the width, allowing more circuits to fit in the same enclosure. At 20 amps, it is suited for branch circuits serving general-purpose outlets, small appliances, and similar loads. Licensed electricians install this breaker as a direct replacement or new-installation component in compatible load centers.
The ge-thqp120 fits applications where contractors and electricians need to maximize circuit capacity without upsizing the panel enclosure. Its half-width form factor is particularly useful in retrofit projects where the existing load center has limited available slots. The 20-amp rating covers a wide range of standard branch circuit applications in residential service panels and light commercial distribution boards.
Key Features
- Half-width design fits twice as many breakers in the same panel space compared to standard-width breakers
- 20-amp single-pole configuration for standard branch circuit protection
- THQP series construction matches the performance profile of full-size GE-style breakers
- Compact form factor supports use of smaller load centers, reducing material cost
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation breaker for load centers compatible with THQP half-width single-pole breakers. Verify load center compatibility before installation.
Installation Notes
Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the load center and verify the panel is dead with a non-contact voltage tester before handling any breaker. Do not exceed the breaker amperage rating when sizing the connected circuit conductors. Confirm the load center's bus bar is rated and listed for THQP-style half-width breakers before installing.
