Circuit Breaker · 50A 2-Pole 120/240V · Plug-In Thermal-Magnetic Q-Line · ABB THQL2150
50A 2-pole Q-Line plug-in circuit breaker for 120/240V branch circuits, with thermal-magnetic trip and 10 kA interrupting capacity. Commonly used in compatible GE and ABB residential load centres for 240V loads such as ranges, HVAC equipment, welders, and other dedicated circuits; actual application must match panel listing, conductor size, and Canadian Electrical Code requirements.
What this product is for
The ABB THQL2150 is a Q-Line plug-in thermal-magnetic circuit breaker rated 50A, 2-pole, 120/240V. It is used to provide overload and short-circuit protection on compatible branch circuits in approved GE and ABB load centres and lighting panel applications.
Use for
- Protecting 240V dedicated circuits that require a 2-pole 50A breaker
- Compatible GE or ABB Q-Line / PowerMark style residential panel applications where the panel label lists this breaker type
- Loads such as electric ranges, HVAC equipment, shop equipment, welders, or other equipment matched to a 50A branch circuit
Typical circuit guidance: a 50A breaker is generally paired with equipment specifically marked for a 50A overcurrent device. Always confirm conductor sizing, termination ratings, and equipment nameplate requirements before installation.
Avoid for
- Panels that do not list THQL or compatible Q-Line breakers on the panel directory or labelling
- Applications requiring GFCI, AFCI, or bolt-on breakers instead of a standard plug-in thermal-magnetic breaker
- Circuits where interrupting rating, wire range, or terminal requirements do not match the installation
Best for
Electricians and maintenance buyers replacing or adding a standard 2-pole 50A plug-in breaker in a compatible ABB or legacy GE Q-Line panel. It suits straightforward branch-circuit protection where a standard common-trip breaker is required without ground-fault or arc-fault functions.
Installed in
Typically installed in compatible residential load centres, light commercial panels, and legacy GE PowerMark Gold or Q-Line panelboards. This breaker is approximately 2 in wide (51 mm) overall because Q-Line breakers are 1 in per pole.
Why this product exists
This breaker provides a direct plug-in option for Q-Line systems where contractors need a standard 50A 2-pole protective device with fixed thermal and magnetic trip characteristics. The common-trip design disconnects both poles together on a fault, which is required for many 240V loads.
Compared with similar products
Compared with tandem or single-pole breakers, the THQL2150 is a full-size 2-pole breaker for 120/240V circuits. Compared with THQB versions, this model is plug-in rather than bolt-on. If the application needs personnel protection or special code compliance, a GFCI or AFCI variant may be required instead of this standard breaker.
