Product FAQs
8 answersWhich panelboards accept the QBH1015CAF breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for installation in Commander, CEB, and Sylvania bolt-on panelboards.
Can I use this Eaton breaker to replace legacy Commander or Sylvania AFCI breakers?
Yes, Eaton manufactures the QBH1015CAF as a direct replacement for older Commander, CEB, and Sylvania bolt-on breakers requiring the QBH frame.
What type of arc fault protection does the QBH1015CAF provide?
It provides Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (CAFCI) protection, detecting both parallel and series arcing conditions to mitigate electrical fire risks.
Does this breaker include diagnostic features for troubleshooting?
Yes, it features a built-in diagnostic LED that displays the most recent trip code, assisting electricians in identifying the cause of a fault.
What type of trip mechanism does the QBH1015CAF utilize?
It utilizes a fixed thermal magnetic trip mechanism, providing both long time thermal protection against overloads and instantaneous magnetic protection against short circuits.
How is the neutral connection wired on this AFCI breaker?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral connection. The coiled white pigtail wire must be securely connected directly to the panelboard neutral bus bar for the arc fault detection circuitry to function properly.
What wire sizes are accepted by the box lugs on this breaker?
The terminals accept wire ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG.
What does the 22kAIC rating indicate for this specific breaker?
The 22kAIC rating means this breaker can safely interrupt up to 22,000 amps of available fault current at 120V, making it suitable for applications requiring a higher interrupting capacity than standard 10kAIC breakers.
