Built to exceed standard safety codes, the QF215A incorporates automated self-test diagnostics to verify continuous ground-fault protection. This 2-pole 15A device installs into Siemens EQ, ES, PL, and Ultimate panelboards to secure wet or damp location circuits. It utilizes a standard pigtail neutral wire and delivers a 10kAIC rating at 120/240VAC. The thermal-magnetic mechanism includes a common trip function, making it an ideal upgrade over older non-testing GFCI models.
Which load centers are compatible with the Siemens QF215A?
This breaker is designed for use in Siemens EQ, ES, PL, and Ultimate series load centers.
What level of ground-fault protection does the QF215A provide?
It provides Class A ground-fault protection with a 5 mA trip sensitivity, designed to protect personnel from electrical shock in wet or damp locations.
How do I wire the neutral connection on the QF215A?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral. The white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the panel neutral bus bar for the GFCI electronics to function properly.
Can I use this 2-pole GFCI breaker for a straight 240V load that does not have a neutral wire?
Yes. For straight 240V loads without a neutral, simply leave the load neutral terminal on the breaker empty. However, the white pigtail on the breaker must still be connected to the panel neutral bus bar to power the internal GFCI sensor.
What is the difference between the Siemens QF215 and the QF215A?
The QF215A is the updated version of the older QF215. The A designation indicates that it includes an automated self-test and lockout feature to comply with updated UL 943 standards for GFCI protection.
How does the self-test feature on the QF215A work?
The breaker automatically and continuously tests its internal GFCI electronics. If it detects a failure in the ground-fault protection, it will trip and lock out to prevent the circuit from operating without safety protection.
