Product FAQs
5 answersWhat panelboards are compatible with the QBHCAF1015?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards that accept BAB, QBHW, or QBHCAF frame types. It will not fit in standard plug-on residential loadcenters like the Eaton BR or CH series.
What is the difference between the QBCAF1015 and the QBHCAF1015?
The primary difference is the interrupting rating. The QBCAF1015 is rated for 10kAIC, while the QBHCAF1015 is rated for 22kAIC at 120V for systems with higher available fault currents.
Does the QBHCAF1015 require a neutral connection?
Yes, this breaker includes a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the panelboard neutral bar to power the internal arc fault detection circuitry.
What type of arc fault protection does this breaker provide?
As a combination arc fault circuit interrupter (CAFCI), it detects and mitigates both parallel arcs (line-to-neutral or line-to-ground) and series arcs (broken or loose wires in series with the load).
What does the LI trip function indicate on this breaker?
The LI designation means the breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time (thermal) protection against overloads and Instantaneous (magnetic) protection against short circuits.
