Overview

The ABB Electrification THQB21WY15 is a single-pole, 15 Amp Q Line bolt-on circuit breaker engineered for reliable overcurrent protection in residential and commercial electrical systems. This compact, one-inch wide per pole device utilizes a thermal-magnetic tripping mechanism to safeguard against sustained overloads and sudden short circuits. Designed for secure integration, the THQB21WY15 features a bolt-on mounting style for direct attachment to bus connections in load centers and lighting panels, ensuring a robust and stable electrical connection critical for safety and performance. Key operational features include a Quick-make / Quick-break mechanism that ensures rapid and decisive contact operation, minimizing arcing and extending operational lifespan. The common trip bar functionality guarantees all poles trip simultaneously during a fault, preventing hazardous single-phased conditions. For efficient troubleshooting, the THQB21WY15 incorporates an easily identifiable trip indication system, providing a clear visual cue when the breaker has tripped. This model is rated for 15 Amps and operates at 120Vac, with a 10,000 Ampere Interrupting Capacity (AIC). The Q Line series offers versatility with 1, 2, and 3-pole configurations, and the THQB21WY15 supports optional auxiliary contact and shunt trip accessories for expanded control and monitoring in complex electrical setups. Additionally, this breaker is suitable for High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting applications, making it a versatile choice for commercial installations. Built to UL 489 and cUL standards, the THQB21WY15 ensures adherence to stringent safety and performance requirements.
