Product FAQs
5 answersWhich load centers are compatible with the Siemens QE215?
This plug-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens EQ, PL, ES, and Ultimate load centers.
What is the ground fault trip threshold for the QE series?
The QE215 features a 30mA trip sensitivity, which is standard for Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) applications.
Can the QE215 be used for personnel ground fault protection?
No. The QE215 is a GFEP breaker with a 30mA trip threshold designed to protect equipment, such as heat trace cables or machinery, from line-to-ground faults. It does not provide the 5mA trip sensitivity required for Class A personnel GFCI protection.
Does the QE215 replace any older Siemens or ITE part numbers?
Yes, the QE215 serves as a direct replacement for the legacy Q215EG circuit breaker.
How is the neutral connection made on the QE215?
This breaker utilizes a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in your load center to ensure proper ground fault equipment protection.
