Product FAQs
6 answers
Which panelboards are compatible with the Siemens B215AFH?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 panelboards. It is not compatible with standard plug-on residential load centers.
What is the difference between the Siemens B215AF and the B215AFH?
The H in the B215AFH catalog number indicates a higher interrupting rating. The B215AFH is rated at 22kAIC, whereas the standard B215AF is rated at 10kAIC.
How does the B215AFH connect to the panel neutral?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral wire that must be routed and connected directly to the panelboard neutral bus bar to ensure proper arc fault detection.
Can this 2-pole AFCI breaker be used for shared neutral circuits?
Yes, 2-pole AFCI breakers like the B215AFH are commonly installed to provide arc fault protection for multi-wire branch circuits that share a single neutral conductor.
Is there a lower interrupting rating alternative to the B215AFH?
Yes, if your panel only requires a 10kAIC rating, the Siemens B215AF is the standard interrupting capacity version of this 15A 2-pole AFCI breaker.
What type of protection does the B215AFH provide?
It provides thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection against overloads and short circuits, combined with arc fault circuit interruption to detect and mitigate dangerous arcing conditions.
