Product FAQs
6 answersWhich panelboards accept the Siemens B215AFC circuit breaker?
The B215AFC is a bolt-on breaker designed specifically for Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards. It will not fit in standard residential plug-on load centers.
How is the neutral connected on the B215AFC?
This breaker uses a pigtail neutral. The attached white wire must be routed and secured to the panelboard neutral bus to power the internal arc fault circuitry.
Does the B215AFC provide combination arc fault protection?
Yes, it is a Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (CAFCI). It detects both parallel and series arcing conditions to comply with NEC requirements for branch circuit protection.
What wire gauges are supported by the B215AFC terminals?
The load lugs accept 14 to 10 AWG copper conductors or 12 to 10 AWG aluminum conductors. Ensure proper torque is applied during installation as specified on the breaker label.
Is the B215AFC suitable for multi-wire branch circuits?
Yes, as a 2-pole 120/240VAC breaker, it can be used to protect 240V loads or shared-neutral multi-wire branch circuits that require 15A arc fault protection.
What trip functions are included in the B215AFC?
This thermal magnetic breaker features fixed long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions to protect against overloads and short circuits, in addition to its arc fault detection capabilities.
