Description
Engineered for modern commercial code compliance, this 15A combination AFCI provides advanced arc-fault detection alongside standard thermal-magnetic protection. The bolt-on design mounts securely into Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, serving as a reliable upgrade or replacement for the older BA115AFH model. Featuring a 22kAIC rating at 120VAC and a pigtail neutral connection, it ensures robust performance for sensitive branch circuits while meeting stringent UL 1699 safety standards.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhat type of arc fault protection does the BA115AFCH provide?
This unit is a Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (CAFCI). It detects series, parallel (line-to-neutral), and line-to-ground arc faults to meet National Electrical Code (NEC) safety requirements for branch circuits.
What does the "H" in the BA115AFCH catalog number indicate?
The "H" suffix designates a high interrupting rating of 22kAIC at 120VAC. This allows it to be safely installed in electrical systems with higher available fault current compared to the standard 10kAIC version (BA115AFC).
Which panelboards accept this BA frame circuit breaker?
The BA115AFCH features a bolt-on mounting design and is specifically compatible with Siemens P1, P2, and P3 commercial panelboards.
Does this AFCI breaker use a plug-on neutral connection?
No, this breaker is equipped with a pigtail neutral. The coiled white wire must be manually routed and terminated directly to the panelboard neutral bus bar during installation.
What wire sizes are accepted by the load terminals?
The load-side lugs accommodate 14 to 8 AWG solid or stranded copper wire, and 12 to 8 AWG aluminum wire for branch circuit connections.
Is there a direct plug-on equivalent for the BA115AFCH?
Yes. If your application requires a standard plug-on mounting style instead of a bolt-on connection, the equivalent 15A 22kAIC combination AFCI breaker is the Siemens B115AFCH.
