ABB Q-Line THQL11 DFCI Dual Function AFCI/GFCI Circuit Breaker
The ABB Q-Line THQL11 DFCI is a dual function circuit breaker that combines AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter) and GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) trip protection in a single 1-pole, plug-in unit, available in 15/20A configurations rated 120V with a 240V voltage rating and a 10KA interrupt rating. This Q-Line frame breaker is engineered as a direct plug-in replacement for compatible ABB Q-Line panelboards and load centers, delivering both arc-fault and ground-fault protection from a single breaker slot instead of two separate devices. This combined approach helps electricians and property owners satisfy dual AFCI/GFCI protection requirements common in bedrooms, laundry areas, and other habitable spaces without sacrificing panel capacity.
Key Features
- Dual Function Protection: Combines LI AFCI and GFCI trip functions in a single DFCI breaker for comprehensive arc-fault and ground-fault circuit protection on one branch circuit.
- Electrical Rating: 1-pole breaker rated 120V for branch circuit use, with a 240V voltage rating, 15/20A configurations, and a 10KA interrupt (short-circuit) rating.
- Q-Line Frame: Plug-in application design engineered for direct installation in compatible ABB Q-Line panelboards and load centers.
- Load Rating: HACR and SWD rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration circuits as well as switching duty applications.
- Connection: Accepts #14-8 AWG conductors, providing flexibility for a range of branch-circuit wiring configurations.
- Trip Range: Non-interchangeable trip unit provides a consistent, factory-set protection point that cannot be field-altered.
- Manufacturing Standard: Produced to Standard E471742 for consistent, repeatable quality.
- Packaging: Supplied individually, 1 EA per package, for straightforward stocking and replacement ordering.
