Part of the QP family, the Siemens Q120AFP delivers 20A branch/feeder arc-fault protection. This single-pole breaker utilizes a standard pigtail neutral connection for reliable residential operation. It mounts into Siemens EQ, EQL, SEQ, EQG, PL, and ES load centers. As an older branch/feeder model, it is commonly used for replacements and is superseded by the QA120AFC combination AFCI. Rated for 10kAIC at 120VAC, this unit features an LED trip indicator and is HACR and SWD rated.
Which Siemens load centers accept the Q120AFP breaker?
This breaker is compatible with Siemens EQ, EQL, SEQ, EQG, PL, and ES series load centers.
Does this breaker require a plug-on neutral load center?
No. The Q120AFP features a standard pigtail neutral wire that connects directly to the neutral bus bar, making it suitable for older panels that do not support plug-on neutral (PON) breakers.
What is the difference between the Q120AFP and the QA120AFC?
The Q120AFP is an older branch/feeder AFCI breaker. It has largely been superseded by the QA120AFC, which is a combination AFCI breaker that detects both parallel and series arcing faults. Both models utilize a pigtail neutral connection.
What type of arc fault detection does the Q120AFP offer?
This model provides branch/feeder arc fault protection. It detects parallel arcing faults but does not include the series arc detection capabilities found in newer combination AFCI breakers.
Can the Q120AFP replace a standard 20A Siemens QP breaker?
Yes, it shares the same 1-inch plug-in footprint as a standard QP breaker. Upgrading to this AFCI model requires routing the attached pigtail wire to the neutral bus bar.
Is the Q120AFP HACR and SWD rated?
Yes, this breaker carries both HACR and SWD ratings. It is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment, as well as for switching duty applications.
Does the Q120AFP include a trip indicator?
Yes, this breaker features an LED trip indicator to help quickly identify the cause of a fault when troubleshooting a tripped circuit.
