Description
Built to mitigate electrical fire risks, the Eaton QBAF1015 offers 15-amp branch/feeder arc fault protection. This single-pole, 120VAC breaker utilizes a bolt-on mounting style for secure integration into Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards. Featuring Fire-Guard technology and a pigtail neutral, it provides reliable detection of parallel arcing faults. While replaced by the QB1015CAF for newer combination AFCI code requirements, it remains an exact fit for existing installations. Rated at 10kAIC.Specifications

Product FAQs
5 answersWhich panelboards are compatible with the QBAF1015 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, specifically models like the 1a, 1a-LX, 3a, and 4a series that accept Quicklag BAB frame breakers.
Does the QBAF1015 provide Combination Type arc fault protection?
No, the QBAF1015 provides Branch/Feeder arc fault protection. If your local electrical code requires Combination Type AFCI protection, you will need the QBCAF1015 instead.
Does this breaker offer dual-function AFCI and GFCI protection?
No, the QBAF1015 is strictly an Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI). It does not provide Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection.
How is the neutral connection made on this breaker?
The QBAF1015 features a pigtail neutral wire that must be routed and connected directly to the panel neutral bus bar to ensure proper arc fault detection.
Can I use this to replace an older Cutler-Hammer QBAF1015?
Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer, and the QBAF1015 is the exact same product, maintaining identical form, fit, and function for direct replacement in existing installations.
