Rated for 22 kAIC at 120/240V, the Siemens QE220H offers high-interrupting equipment protection. This 20-amp, two-pole GFEP breaker utilizes a 30mA trip threshold to defend industrial and commercial machinery from line-to-ground faults. The plug-on design fits seamlessly into Siemens EQ, PL, ES, and Ultimate load centers. It is the designated substitute for the discontinued Q220EGH model. This thermal-magnetic breaker is HACR and SWD rated, ensuring reliable performance across applications.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What is the ground fault trip sensitivity of the QE220H?
This Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker features a 30mA trip threshold. It is designed to protect machinery and equipment from line-to-ground faults rather than providing personnel protection.
What is the difference between the Siemens QE220 and the QE220H?
The H suffix indicates a high interrupting capacity. The QE220H is rated for 22kAIC at 240V, whereas the standard QE220 is rated for 10kAIC.
Does the QE220H replace any older Siemens catalog numbers?
Yes, the QE220H is the designated replacement for the discontinued Q220EGH equipment protection breaker.
What is the difference between Siemens QE and QPF series breakers?
The QE series provides Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) with a 30mA trip level to prevent nuisance tripping on equipment like heat tracing. The QPF series provides Class A Ground Fault Circuit Interruption (GFCI) with a 5mA trip level for personnel safety.
Does this breaker require a neutral connection to function properly?
Yes, the QE220H includes a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected to the neutral bus bar in the panel for the ground fault detection circuitry to operate.
Which load centers are compatible with the QE220H?
This plug-on breaker is designed for use in Siemens EQ, PL, ES, and Ultimate series load centers.
