GE - THQD32200 – 200A 3-Pole 240V High IC Feed-Thru Molded Case Circuit Breaker
GE - THQD32200 – 200A 3-Pole 240V High IC Feed-Thru Molded Case Circuit Breaker
Product images are representative only. Actual product may vary.
The GE THQD32200 is a 3-pole, 200-amp thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker rated for 240VAC with a High Interrupting Capacity (High IC) of 22kA. Part of GE's THQD High IC series, this Feed-Thru breaker delivers superior fault current performance over the standard TQD frame — making it the preferred choice for commercial service entrance and main distribution equipment in higher-fault environments.

Features & Benefits
- High IC interrupting capacity — designed for systems with elevated available fault current beyond standard TQD ratings
- Thermal magnetic trip — precise overload and short-circuit protection, no nuisance tripping
- Feed-Thru mounting — supports pass-through conductor routing in multi-metering installations
- UL 489 listed and CSA C22.2 certified for full North American code compliance
- Direct replacement option for existing THQD-frame 200A installations
The GE THQD Series was developed to address fault current requirements that exceed the TQD standard frame's rating. Electricians and engineers specify the THQD32200 when short-circuit analysis shows available fault currents approaching or exceeding the TQD's standard IC, particularly in commercial buildings fed from large utility transformers or with multiple sources of fault contribution.
Typical Applications
- Commercial service entrance panels and main distribution boards at 240V
- Feeder circuit protection in environments with elevated available fault current
- Multi-tenant metering centers using Feed-Thru configurations
- Replacement for existing GE THQD-frame 200A main breakers
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the THQD32200 differ from the TQD32200?
A: The THQD32200 is the High IC (higher interrupting capacity) version of the TQD32200, specified when available fault currents exceed the standard TQD frame's rating.
Q: Does the THQD32200 include wire lugs?
A: No. For wire lug terminations, see the THQD32200WL which includes factory-installed lugs.
Q: Is the THQD32200 UL listed?
A: Yes, it is UL 489 listed and CSA C22.2 certified for use in North American electrical systems.
