Product FAQs
7 answersCan I install the Siemens MP215AFC in a standard Siemens load center?
No, the MP215AFC is specifically UL listed for use in Murray load centers. While Siemens manufactures both, you should use Siemens Type QP or QAF breakers for standard Siemens panels to maintain UL compliance.
Why does my new MP215AFC say Siemens instead of Murray?
Siemens acquired the Murray brand and officially phased out the Murray name starting in 2019. The Siemens MP215AFC is the exact, UL listed replacement for the original Murray MP215AFC, maintaining full compatibility with your Murray load center.
How is the neutral connection handled on the MP215AFC?
This breaker utilizes a pigtail neutral. During installation, the coiled white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the panel neutral bus bar to power the internal arc fault detection electronics.
Does this breaker protect against both series and parallel arc faults?
Yes, as a combination type AFCI, the MP215AFC is designed to detect and mitigate both high energy parallel arcs and low energy series arcs, significantly reducing the risk of electrical fires.
Can I use aluminum wiring with the MP215AFC?
Yes, the load lugs are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. When using aluminum wire, the accepted gauge is 12 to 8 AWG. Copper wire is accepted from 14 to 8 AWG.
What does the LI trip function code mean on this breaker?
The LI designation indicates that the breaker uses a thermal magnetic trip unit providing Long-Time (L) protection against gradual overloads and Instantaneous (I) protection against severe short circuits.
What applications typically require a 2-pole 15A AFCI breaker like the MP215AFC?
A 2-pole 15A AFCI is commonly used for 240V residential circuits or multi-wire branch circuits (MWBCs) sharing a neutral, where arc fault protection is required by the National Electrical Code (NEC).
