Product FAQs
5 answersWhat is the ground fault trip threshold for the Siemens QE260H?
The QE260H is a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker with a 30mA trip threshold. It is designed to protect machinery and equipment, such as heat trace cables, from line-to-ground faults rather than providing the 5mA personnel protection of a standard GFCI.
Can I install the QE260H in any Siemens panel?
The QE260H is designed specifically for Siemens EQ, PL, ES, and Ultimate series load centers. It utilizes a standard plug-on configuration and requires two full spaces in the panel.
What is the direct replacement for the obsolete Siemens Q260EGH?
The Siemens QE260H is the direct, manufacturer-approved replacement for the older Q260EGH equipment protection breaker.
How does the QE260H connect to the panel neutral?
This breaker includes a factory-installed pigtail neutral wire. The pigtail must be routed and secured to the neutral bus bar in the load center for the 30mA ground fault sensing circuitry to function correctly.
Is the QE260H breaker HACR rated for HVAC applications?
Yes, the QE260H carries an HACR rating, making it approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment requiring a 60A, 240V circuit with equipment-level ground fault protection.
