Engineered to detect both parallel and series arcing, this 20-amp single-pole breaker delivers comprehensive combination AFCI protection. The unit utilizes a traditional pigtail neutral wire to connect to the panel's neutral bar, ensuring reliable performance in residential applications. It mounts into standard Siemens and Murray load centers, serving as a replacement for older Q120AF models. The plug-on design features Insta-Wire connections to speed up the installation process.

Product FAQs
8 answers
What load centers are compatible with the Siemens Q120AFCP breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in standard Siemens and legacy Murray load centers. It can also be installed in Siemens plug-on neutral panels by connecting the pigtail to the neutral bar.
Does the Q120AFCP require a plug-on neutral panel?
No. This breaker features a traditional pigtail neutral connection, meaning it wires directly to the neutral bar and does not require a specialized plug-on neutral load center.
What type of arc fault protection does this breaker provide?
It is a Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (CAFCI), meaning it detects both high-energy parallel arcing and low-energy series arcing to help prevent electrical fires.
How do I identify the cause of a tripped Q120AFCP breaker?
This unit includes integrated LED trip indicators near the handle. These LEDs help electricians quickly determine if the trip was caused by an arc fault or a standard overload.
Can I use the Q120AFCP to replace older Siemens AFCI breakers?
Yes, this combination AFCI model serves as a direct replacement for older branch/feeder AFCI breakers like the Q120AF, providing upgraded series and parallel arc detection.
Is this 20-amp AFCI breaker rated for switching duty?
Yes, it carries an SWD (Switching Duty) rating, meaning it is approved for switching 120V fluorescent lighting circuits on and off on a regular basis.
What does the P in the Q120AFCP catalog number indicate?
The P indicates that this breaker uses a pigtail neutral connection rather than a plug-on neutral design.
What is the difference between the Q120AFCP and QA120AFCP?
The QA120AFCP is the second-generation version of this arc fault breaker. Both models offer the same 20-amp combination AFCI protection with a pigtail neutral connection and are directly interchangeable in Siemens load centers.
