Product FAQs
8 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the QBCAF1015 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, including Pow-R-Line 1a, 2a, 3a, and 4a, as well as Eaton Sumter panelboards.
Is the QBCAF1015 compatible with standard residential load centers?
No, the QBCAF1015 is a Quicklag industrial bolt-on breaker. It will not fit standard plug-on residential load centers like Eaton BR or CH series panels.
Does the QBCAF1015 require a dedicated neutral wire connection?
Yes, this combination AFCI breaker features a pigtail neutral that must be connected directly to the panel neutral bus bar to ensure proper arc fault detection.
How does the QBCAF1015 mount into the panelboard?
It utilizes a bolt-on connection, meaning it must be physically bolted to the panelboard bus. This provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection typical in commercial and industrial applications.
Is the Eaton QBCAF1015 suitable for use with HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 15A circuit.
Can this breaker be used in systems requiring a higher interrupting capacity?
The QBCAF1015 is fully rated for 10kAIC at 120/240VAC. If your system requires a 22kAIC rating, you will need the higher-rated QBHCAF1015 version.
What type of arc fault protection does the QBCAF1015 provide?
As a combination AFCI, it detects both parallel arcing (line-to-neutral or line-to-ground) and series arcing (within a single wire) to mitigate electrical fire risks and meet modern NEC requirements.
What is the difference between the QBAF1015 and the QBCAF1015?
The older QBAF1015 provides branch/feeder arc fault protection, while the QBCAF1015 is a combination AFCI that detects both series and parallel arc faults to comply with updated National Electrical Code standards.
