Description
Built for demanding commercial environments, this 30-amp single-pole GFEP breaker delivers a 30mA trip threshold to prevent equipment damage from ground faults. It integrates into Siemens P1 panelboards and standard load centers via a secure plug-on connection. Distinguished by its elevated 22kAIC interrupting capacity at 120VAC, the HACR-rated unit handles higher fault currents than standard models. Facilities upgrading their systems can cross-reference this to the newer Q130EGH.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhat is the ground fault trip threshold for the Siemens QE130H?
This breaker features a 30mA ground fault trip level. It is classified as Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) and is designed to protect equipment like heat trace cables or snow melt systems, rather than providing 5mA Class A personnel protection.
Which panelboards are compatible with the QE130H breaker?
This plug-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens load centers and Siemens P1 panelboards that accept QP family branch breakers.
How does the QEH series differ from standard QE breakers?
The H in the QE130H catalog number indicates a higher interrupting rating. QEH breakers are rated at 22kAIC at 120V, whereas standard QE breakers are rated at 10kAIC.
How is the neutral connection made for this GFEP breaker?
The QE130H includes a pigtail neutral wire that must be routed and terminated directly to the panel neutral bus bar to ensure the ground fault sensing circuitry functions correctly.
Can I use this 30mA GFEP breaker to meet NEC requirements for bathroom or kitchen receptacles?
No. The National Electrical Code requires Class A GFCI protection with a 5mA trip threshold for personnel in those locations. This 30mA GFEP breaker is strictly for equipment protection.
Can the Siemens QE130H replace older ITE brand breakers?
Yes. Siemens acquired ITE, and the current Siemens QE series is the direct, manufacturer-approved replacement for legacy ITE QE series breakers with the same specifications.
