Product FAQs
8 answersCan I install the Q220GFH in a Murray load center?
Yes, this breaker is fully compatible with Murray load centers, as well as Siemens PL, ES, EQ, and Ultimate panels.
What is the difference between the Siemens Q220GF and the Q220GFH?
The Q220GFH features a higher interrupting rating of 22kAIC, whereas the standard Q220GF is rated for 10kAIC. Both provide 20A, 2-pole ground fault protection.
What does the H in the Q220GFH catalog number signify?
The H indicates that this is a high-interrupting breaker, rated for 22kAIC at 240V, compared to the standard 10kAIC rating of the base Q220GF model.
Does this breaker require a pigtail neutral connection?
Yes, the Q220GFH is equipped with a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected to the panel neutral bar for the ground fault protection to function properly.
Can I use this 2-pole GFCI breaker on a circuit without a load neutral?
Yes, a load neutral is not required on the circuit for straight 240V applications. However, the breaker's white pigtail wire must still be connected to the panel neutral for the GFCI sensor to operate.
What class of ground fault protection does the Q220GFH provide?
It provides Class A ground fault protection, which is designed to trip when a current imbalance of 4 to 6 milliamps is detected to protect personnel from electrical shock.
Does this breaker provide arc fault (AFCI) protection?
No, the Q220GFH is strictly a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). It does not provide dual-function AFCI/GFCI protection.
What older Siemens breaker does the Q220GFH replace?
The Q220GFH is the direct replacement for the older Siemens QF220H model, providing the same 20A, 2-pole ground fault protection with a 22kAIC rating.
