ABB Q Line THQL2130GFTP 30A Double Pole GFCI Circuit Breaker

Description

Product Overview

The ABB Q Line THQL2130GFTP is a 30 amp, double‑pole ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) designed for residential and light commercial electrical distribution panels. Engineered with a robust plastic housing, the breaker combines safety, durability, and ease of installation. Its self‑test function continuously checks for leakage currents, providing early warning of potential ground‑fault conditions before they become hazardous. The device is rated for 120/240 VAC operation and fits standard plug‑in mount panels, making it a versatile choice for new construction or retrofit projects. With a compact footprint of 6.75 × 5.38 × 2.25 inches, it occupies minimal space while delivering reliable protection against electric shock, overloads, and short circuits. The ABB brand, backed by decades of electrical expertise, ensures that this breaker meets rigorous industry standards and delivers consistent performance over its service life.

Usage

This GFCI breaker is ideal for protecting circuits that serve kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor outlets, and any area where moisture or accidental contact with live parts is a concern. Electricians and DIY enthusiasts alike will appreciate the straightforward plug‑in installation: simply align the breaker with the panel bus bar, engage the latch, and the unit locks securely in place. Once installed, the self‑test indicator provides real‑time status, allowing users to verify that the breaker is functioning correctly without the need for external testing equipment. The breaker’s 30 amp rating makes it suitable for high‑draw appliances such as electric ranges, water heaters, and air‑conditioning units, while still delivering the rapid fault detection required for personal safety. Its plastic construction resists corrosion and is lightweight, simplifying handling during installation and reducing overall panel weight.
