Built for residential circuit safety, this 20-amp branch/feeder arc-fault breaker identifies dangerous line-to-ground and line-to-neutral arcing conditions. The device features a standard pigtail neutral wire and Insta-Wire connectors for efficient termination. Mounts into Siemens EQ, EQL, SEQ, PL, and ES series load centers using a standard plug-on connection. While this model provides reliable protection, it is often replaced by the QA120AFC combination AFCI for modern code compliance.
Which load centers are compatible with the Q120AF circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Siemens EQ, EQL, SEQ, EQG, PL, and ES series load centers.
Does the Q120AF provide branch/feeder or combination arc fault protection?
The Q120AF is a branch/feeder arc fault circuit interrupter. It detects line-to-ground and line-to-neutral arcing conditions but does not provide the series arc detection found in newer combination AFCI breakers.
Does this breaker use a pigtail neutral or a plug-on neutral connection?
The Q120AF features a standard pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the panel.
What is the recommended terminal torque for the Q120AF breaker?
The load terminals on this breaker should be torqued to 25 lb-in during installation.
What is the combination AFCI replacement for the Q120AF?
The QA120AFC is the modern combination AFCI replacement for this older branch/feeder breaker. It provides both series and parallel arc fault detection to comply with current NEC standards.
Can I use aluminum wire with this 20A AFCI breaker?
Yes, the lugs accept 12-8 AWG aluminum wire, as well as 14-8 AWG copper wire.
