Circuit Breaker · 3-Pole 80A 120/240V · Bolt-On Thermal-Magnetic Q-Line · ABB THQB32080
What this product is for
The ABB THQB32080 is a Q-Line bolt-on circuit breaker used to provide overload and short-circuit protection on 120/240V AC distribution systems. It is a 3-pole, 80A thermal-magnetic breaker for panelboards and lighting panels that accept ABB/GE Q-Line THQB bolt-on breakers.
Use for
Use for commercial and residential distribution equipment where a listed 3-pole 80A bolt-on breaker is required. Typical applications include panelboard branch circuits, mechanical equipment feeds, small distribution sections, and other 120/240V AC loads matched to the panel and conductor sizing.
Avoid for
Avoid using this breaker in plug-on interiors, in panels not listed for THQB/Q-Line bolt-on breakers, or where a higher interrupting rating, different voltage system, or different pole configuration is required. Always confirm panel compatibility and conductor range before ordering.
Best for
Best for electricians and maintenance teams replacing an existing ABB or legacy GE Q-Line bolt-on breaker with the same form factor and rating. It is also a practical choice where secure bolt-on mounting is preferred in lighting panels and commercial distribution assemblies.
Installed in
Installed in compatible ABB/GE Q-Line load centres, panelboards, and lighting panels with bolt-on bus connections. The breaker body is approximately 1 in per pole wide (about 25 mm per pole), which helps when matching existing panel layouts.
Why this product exists
This breaker exists to provide a listed bolt-on branch protection option in the ABB/GE Q-Line platform where secure mechanical mounting and standard thermal-magnetic protection are needed. Bolt-on styles are commonly selected in commercial panelboards to match the original interior and maintain proper fit.
Compared with similar products
Compared with a plug-on Q-Line breaker such as a THQL version, the THQB32080 is the bolt-on style for compatible bolt-on interiors. Compared with higher AIC breakers, this model is intended for applications where a 10 kA interrupting rating is suitable. As typical guidance, continuous loads are commonly limited to 80% of breaker rating, so an 80A breaker is often applied around 64A continuous load where code and equipment listings require it. Actual application depends on equipment rating, conductor sizing, installation conditions, and local electrical code.
