Product FAQs
6 answersWhich load centers are compatible with the Siemens Q215AFC circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Siemens load centers, including the PL, ES, EQ, and Ultimate series, that accept QP frame plug-in breakers. It is also compatible with older ITE and Gould panels that use QP breakers.
How is the neutral connection made on the Q215AFC?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral wire. The pigtail must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the load center to ensure proper arc fault detection.
What type of arc fault protection does the Q215AFC provide?
It is a Combination Type AFCI (CAFCI). This means it provides protection against both parallel and series arcing faults, helping to prevent electrical fires in residential branch circuits.
Can the Q215AFC be used in multi-wire branch circuits?
Yes. As a 2-pole combination AFCI, it allows electricians to share a neutral between two 120V circuits fed by the breaker, which is common in multi-wire branch circuit installations.
Does this breaker include diagnostic indicators?
Yes, Siemens Combination Type AFCIs are equipped with LED trip indicators. These LEDs help electricians pinpoint the specific type of fault that caused the breaker to trip.
What is the UPC for the Siemens Q215AFC?
The 12-digit UPC for this breaker is 040892148886.
