Construction Details
ABB Q-Line breakers are compact circuit breakers designed for compatible electrical distribution equipment. The THQL models in this product group use a plug-in connection for installation in approved load centers and panelboards.
ABB identifies the documented models with a non-interchangeable LI trip configuration, fixed long-time and instantaneous functions, and suitability for reverse feed. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Because plug-in breakers are equipment-specific, confirm the exact load center, panelboard, bus design, system voltage, and breaker compatibility before ordering.
