Description
Part of the QP family, the Siemens QE115H is a 15A, single-pole equipment protection breaker with a high interrupting capacity of 22kAIC at 120VAC. It features a 30mA ground-fault trip threshold, making it ideal for protecting heat trace cables and machinery from line-to-ground faults. This plug-on breaker installs into Siemens EQ, PL, ES, and Ultimate load centers. It is replaced by the Q115EGH model. Equipped with a pigtail neutral, this thermal-magnetic breaker is HACR and SWD rated.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhich load centers are compatible with the Siemens QE115H?
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 QE115H?
The QE115H is a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker with a 30mA trip sensitivity. This is designed to protect machinery and heat trace cables from line-to-ground faults, rather than the 5mA threshold used for personnel protection.
What is the difference between the Siemens QE115 and the QE115H?
Both are 15A, 1-pole GFEP breakers with a 30mA trip threshold. The difference is the interrupting rating. The standard QE115 is rated at 10kAIC, while the QE115H has a higher interrupting capacity of 22kAIC at 120V.
How is the neutral connected on the QE115H breaker?
The QE115H features a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in the load center to ensure proper ground fault equipment protection.
What applications typically require a 30mA GFEP breaker like the QE115H?
GFEP breakers with a 30mA threshold are commonly used to protect equipment such as heat trace cables, snow melting equipment, and industrial machinery from damaging line-to-ground faults where a standard 5mA GFCI might experience nuisance tripping.
Is there a newer replacement model for the Siemens QE115H?
Yes, the Siemens QE115H has been replaced by the Q115EGH model, which serves as the direct equivalent for 15A, 1-pole GFEP applications.
