Description
Engineered for dedicated circuits, the Siemens Q215EG provides 30mA equipment ground-fault protection (GFEP) in a 15A, two-pole package. It is designed to protect machinery and heat tracing rather than personnel. This plug-on breaker mounts into standard Siemens load centers and serves as an exact replacement for the discontinued QE215 model. It features a factory-installed pigtail neutral. Rated for 10kAIC at 120/240VAC, the unit includes a self-test feature and visual trip indicator.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhich load centers are compatible with the Siemens Q215EG circuit breaker?
The Q215EG is a plug-on breaker designed for use in Siemens EQ, PL, ES, and Ultimate load centers. It is also compatible with many legacy ITE panels that accept QP family breakers.
What is the ground fault trip threshold for the Q215EG?
This breaker provides Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) with a 30mA trip threshold. It is designed to protect machinery and equipment from line-to-ground faults, unlike Class A GFCI breakers which trip at 5mA for personnel protection.
What applications typically require a 30mA GFEP breaker like the Q215EG?
GFEP breakers are commonly used for equipment that has a naturally higher leakage current, such as heat trace cables, snow melting equipment, and industrial machinery, where a standard 5mA GFCI would experience nuisance tripping.
How is the neutral connection made on the Q215EG?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the load center to ensure proper ground fault equipment protection.
Is there a newer replacement model for the Q215EG?
Yes, the Siemens QE215 is the direct, updated replacement for the legacy Q215EG model. Both offer 15A, 2-pole, 30mA GFEP protection and fit the same load centers.
What does the LIG trip function indicate on this breaker?
The LIG designation means this thermal magnetic breaker provides Long-Time overload protection, Instantaneous short circuit protection, and Ground Fault protection.
