Built for systems requiring higher fault tolerance, the Siemens Q215H is a 15A, two-pole breaker with a 22kAIC interrupt rating. It provides robust thermal-magnetic protection for residential and commercial branch circuits. This QPH series breaker installs into Siemens, Murray, EQ, PL, ES, and Ultimate load centers via a standard plug-on connection. It serves as a drop-in replacement for the MP215H model. The unit features Insta-Wire technology for quick installation and is HACR rated.
What panels are compatible with the Siemens Q215H?
The Q215H is a plug-on breaker designed for use in Siemens, Murray, EQ, PL, ES, and Ultimate load centers. Because it is a 2-pole breaker, it requires two standard 1-inch spaces on the panel bus bar.
What is the difference between the Siemens Q215 and the Q215H?
The Q215 is a standard Type QP breaker with a 10kAIC interrupting rating. The Q215H is the Type QPH version, which provides a higher 22kAIC interrupting rating for systems with higher available fault currents. Both share the same physical dimensions and fit the same panel slots.
Can I use the Q215H in a GE or Eaton load center?
No. Although the plug-on design might physically fit in other panels, the Q215H is only UL listed for approved Siemens, Murray, and specific legacy enclosures. Using it in unapproved panels like GE or Eaton violates electrical codes and compromises safety.
Is the Siemens Q215H HACR rated?
Yes, Siemens Type QPH circuit breakers are HACR rated. This means the Q215H is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific type of branch circuit protection.
Does the 22kAIC rating of the Q215H mean it runs cooler than a standard breaker?
No. The 22kAIC rating indicates the maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt, not its operating temperature. The Q215H shares the same thermal-magnetic trip mechanism as the standard 10kAIC version and will dissipate a similar amount of heat under normal load conditions.
