Product FAQs
6 answers
What is the difference between the Siemens QF120 and the QF120AH?
The primary difference is the interrupting rating. The standard QF120 (and the newer QF120A) is rated at 10kAIC, while the QF120AH is rated for 22kAIC at 120V for electrical systems requiring elevated short-circuit protection.
Does the QF120AH replace any older Siemens breakers?
Yes, the QF120AH is the direct replacement for the discontinued QF120H. This upgraded model features updated electronics, automated diagnostic checks, and Insta-Wire connections for faster installation.
What level of ground fault protection does the QF120AH provide?
This breaker provides Class A ground fault protection, meaning it is designed to trip when a ground fault of 5mA (milliamps) or higher is detected. This provides code-compliant safety for damp and wet environments like kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor receptacles.
How is the neutral connection handled on the QF120AH?
The QF120AH utilizes a factory-installed pigtail neutral wire. This pigtail must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the panelboard to ensure the ground-fault sensing circuitry operates correctly.
Which load centers are compatible with the QF120AH breaker?
This plug-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens PL, ES, EQ, and Ultimate series load centers. It requires one standard 1-inch space on the bus bar.
Does the QF120AH feature self-testing capabilities?
Yes, as a modern GFCI breaker engineered to meet updated UL 943 requirements, it conducts periodic automated diagnostic checks to confirm the internal ground-fault mechanism remains fully operational.
