Product FAQs
5 answersIs the Siemens PA220GF interchangeable with the Siemens QF220A?
Yes, the PA220GF is a multiple-listed version of the Siemens QF220A GFCI breaker. It is specifically branded for Pentair pool and spa control panels but shares the exact same physical and electrical characteristics as the standard Siemens QF220A.
Why is the PA220GF specified for Pentair pool equipment?
Pentair recommends the PA220GF for their EasyTouch panels, IntelliTouch panels, and IntelliFlo variable speed pumps. It is tested to minimize nuisance tripping with their variable frequency drives while maintaining the required ground-fault protection.
How is the pigtail neutral connected on the PA220GF?
The attached coiled white pigtail wire must be routed and terminated directly to the neutral bus bar in the load center or pool control panel. This connection is required to power the internal ground-fault monitoring circuitry.
What is the ground-fault trip threshold for the PA220GF?
This is a Class A GFCI breaker designed for personnel protection. It will trip when it detects a ground-fault leakage current of 5mA, with an allowable tolerance of 4mA to 6mA, meeting NEC requirements for wet locations like pools and spas.
Can the PA220GF be installed in standard Siemens residential panels?
Yes. While it is heavily marketed for Pentair automation systems, it features a standard Type QP or QPF plug-on mounting style and is fully UL listed for use in any Siemens load center that accepts 2-pole QP-frame breakers.
