general electric thhqb32035

General Electric (GE) THHQB32035 is a **3-pole bolt-on circuit breaker** designed for residential and commercial electrical applications. This device falls under GE's Q Line series, known for compact thermal-magnetic protection with quick-make/quick-break mechanisms and common trip bars for safety and reliability . Here’s a detailed breakdown of its specifications and applications:

 **Key Specifications**

- **Rated Current**: 35 Amps  

- **Voltage Rating**: 240 VAC (single-phase) or 120/240 VAC (split-phase)  

- **Interrupting Rating**: 22 kAIC (kiloamperes interrupting capacity) at 240 VAC  

- **Wire Compatibility**: Supports 8 AWG to 3 AWG copper or aluminum conductors  

- **Mounting Type**: Bolt-on design for secure attachment to load centers or lighting panels (e.g., GE AQ series panels)  

- **Certifications**: UL listed and CSA certified, meeting North American safety standards .  

 **Design and Features**

- **Compact Size**: Each pole measures 1 inch wide, making it suitable for space-constrained installations.  

- **Thermal-Magnetic Protection**: Combines thermal overload protection (for gradual overcurrents) and magnetic short-circuit protection (for instantaneous faults).  

- **Common Trip Mechanism**: Ensures all poles trip simultaneously during a fault, preventing phase imbalance.  

- **Reverse Feed Capability**: Allows for flexibility in wiring configurations, such as backfeeding from a generator.  

- **Visual Trip Indication**: Clearly shows whether the breaker has tripped, aiding in quick diagnostics .  

 **Typical Applications**

- **Residential Load Centers**: Used in main service panels or subpanels to protect circuits for high-demand appliances like electric dryers, water heaters, or HVAC systems.  

- **Commercial Lighting Panels**: Ideal for controlling power distribution in offices, retail spaces, or small industrial facilities.  

- **Generator Backup Systems**: Supports reverse feed for connecting portable or standby generators to a building’s electrical system .  

 **Purchase and Availability**

- **Price Range**: Retail prices typically range from **$158 to $184**, depending on the seller and quantity.  

- **Where to Buy**: Available through electrical supply distributors (e.g., Wire & Cable Your Way, SuperBreakers) and online marketplaces. Ensure compatibility with your existing panel before purchase.  

- **Stock Status**: Limited availability may exist, so check with suppliers for real-time inventory .  

 **Important Considerations**

1. **Compatibility**: Verify that the breaker is compatible with your panel’s brand and model. For example, GE Q Line breakers are designed for GE load centers but may not work with other brands like Siemens or Square D.  

2. **Electrical Code Compliance**: Ensure installation adheres to local electrical codes (e.g., NEC in the U.S.).  

3. **Professional Installation**: Due to safety risks, hiring a licensed electrician is recommended for installation or replacement.  

 **Similar GE Products**

- **THQL32035**: A plug-on version of the THHQB32035, suitable for panels with plug-in bus bars.  

- **QOB Series**: Offers higher interrupting ratings (e.g., 22 kA vs. 10 kA) for more demanding applications.
