Designed for electrical systems with higher available fault currents, this 30-amp ground fault interrupter boasts a robust 22kAIC rating. It mounts into standard Siemens EQ, PL, and ES series load centers, utilizing a conventional pigtail neutral connection for reliable residential or commercial integration. Providing essential 5mA personnel protection, the unit ensures strict adherence to NEC requirements for wet environments while offering built-in self-test capabilities.

Product FAQs
8 answers
Can I install the QF130H in any Siemens panel?
It is compatible with Siemens EQ, EQL, SEQ, EQG, PL, and ES series load centers. It will not fit in older Pushmatic or bolt-on style commercial panels, as it requires a standard 1-inch plug-on connection.
What does the H in the QF130H catalog number indicate?
The H designates a high interrupting rating. This model provides 22kAIC at 120VAC, which is required in systems with higher available fault current compared to the standard 10kAIC QF130 model.
How is the neutral connected on this GFCI breaker?
The QF130H features a pigtail neutral. The coiled white wire must be terminated directly to the neutral bus bar in the panel to power the internal ground fault circuitry.
Can the QF130H replace a standard QF130 breaker?
Yes. The QF130H is a direct physical replacement for the QF130. It provides a higher 22kAIC interrupting rating, which safely exceeds the 10kAIC rating of the standard model.
What level of ground fault protection does the QF130H provide?
As a Class A GFCI device, it protects personnel from electrical shock by tripping when it detects a ground fault current imbalance of 4 to 6 milliamps.
Can this breaker be used in a panel without a dedicated neutral bus?
No. A functional neutral bus bar is required. The breaker's pigtail wire must be connected to the neutral bus to provide a voltage reference for the internal ground fault sensor.
What is the difference between the QF130H and the QF130AH?
Both are 30-amp, 22kAIC GFCI breakers. The QF130AH includes an updated self-test feature required by newer electrical codes, whereas the QF130H is the legacy version without the automated self-test function.
What types of faults will cause the QF130H to trip?
This thermal-magnetic breaker provides three levels of protection. It trips on long-time overloads, instantaneous short circuits, and ground faults.
