Engineered for wet and damp locations, the QF215 delivers Class A 5mA ground-fault protection for residential and commercial applications. This 2-pole 15-amp component mounts into Siemens EQ, ES, PL, and Ultimate load centers using a standard plug-on connection. Featuring a factory-installed pigtail neutral and common trip mechanism, it provides reliable personnel protection. Note that this specific model has been superseded by the Q215GF for newer installations.
Which panelboards accept the Siemens QF215 GFCI breaker?
It installs into Siemens EQ, ES, PL, and Ultimate load centers that accept plug-on Q-frame breakers.
What level of ground fault protection does the QF215 provide?
It provides Class A ground fault protection, meaning it is calibrated to trip when it detects a ground fault leakage current of 5mA (typically between 4mA and 6mA) to protect personnel from electrical shock.
Does the pigtail neutral need to be connected if the 240V load does not require a neutral?
Yes. The factory-installed white pigtail neutral must be connected to the panel's neutral bus bar for the breaker's internal ground fault circuitry to function properly, even for straight 240V loads that do not use a load neutral.
Can this 2-pole GFCI breaker be used for 120/240V multi-wire branch circuits?
Yes. It can protect 3-wire 120/240V circuits. When used this way, the load neutral wire must be connected to the load neutral terminal on the breaker.
What is the difference between the QF215 and the QF215A or Q215GF?
The QF215 is the standard legacy GFCI model, while the QF215A and Q215GF are newer revisions that incorporate an automated self-test and lockout feature to meet updated UL 943 safety standards.
Is there a plug-on neutral version of this 15A 2-pole GFCI breaker?
Yes. For Siemens plug-on neutral load centers, the equivalent 15A 2-pole GFCI breaker is catalog number Q215GFN.
Is the QF215 rated for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for protecting HVAC circuits that require ground fault protection.
