Product FAQs
6 answersWhich Siemens panelboards are compatible with the B215AFCH circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards. It is not compatible with standard residential plug-on load centers, which require Q-frame breakers.
What is the difference between the Siemens B215AFC and B215AFCH?
The B215AFCH features a higher interrupting rating of 22kAIC at 120/240VAC, whereas the standard B215AFC is rated for 10kAIC. Both are 15A, 2-pole bolt-on AFCI breakers.
What type of arc fault protection does the B215AFCH provide?
It is a Combination Type Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI). It detects all three possible types of arc faults: line-to-ground, line-to-neutral, and series arcs.
How is the neutral connection made on this breaker?
The B215AFCH features a pigtail neutral connection that must be wired directly to the panelboard neutral bus bar to ensure proper arc fault detection.
What is the recommended lug torque for the B215AFCH?
The standard torque rating for the breaker lugs is 25 lb-in. Always verify with the label on the breaker or panelboard for your specific wire gauge and material.
How much panel space does the B215AFCH require?
As a 2-pole BL frame breaker, it requires two spaces (two inches) in a Siemens P1, P2, or P3 panelboard.
