Product FAQs
6 answersWhich load centers are compatible with the Siemens QE260 circuit breaker?
This plug-in breaker is designed for use in Siemens EQ, PL, ES, and Ultimate series load centers.
What is the ground fault trip sensitivity of the QE260?
The QE260 is a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker with a 30mA trip threshold. It is designed to protect equipment from line-to-ground faults, unlike Class A GFCI breakers which have a 5mA threshold for personnel protection.
Can the QE260 replace older Siemens equipment protection breakers?
Yes, the QE260 serves as a direct replacement for the legacy Siemens Q260EG model in 120/240V AC systems.
Does the QE260 require a bolt-on or plug-in connection?
The QE260 features a standard plug-in connection for quick installation in compatible Siemens panels. It requires a pigtail neutral connection to the panel neutral bar to function correctly.
Is the Siemens QE260 suitable for HVAC equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires 60A ground fault equipment protection.
What type of trip functions does this breaker use?
It utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions, combined with 30mA ground fault equipment protection to de-energize the circuit during a fault.
