Built to meet updated UL 943 standards, this 60-amp interrupter conducts periodic internal tests to confirm the ground fault circuitry remains fully operational. The device provides standard 10kAIC interrupting capacity alongside thermal-magnetic overcurrent defense. It snaps securely into Siemens EQ, ES, PL, and Ultimate load centers using a traditional pigtail neutral connection. This model serves as the direct self-testing upgrade for the legacy QF260 part number.
Is the QF260A intended for personnel protection or equipment protection?
It provides Class A personnel protection with a 5mA trip threshold. It is not an Equipment Protection Device (EPD), which would typically feature a 30mA threshold.
Does a straight 240V load without a neutral require the breaker pigtail to be connected?
Yes. Even if the 240V load does not utilize a load neutral, the white pigtail on the breaker must be landed on the panel neutral bus to power the internal ground fault testing and sensing circuitry.
Does this breaker require a plug-on neutral load center?
No. It uses a traditional pigtail neutral connection, making it compatible with standard Siemens EQ, ES, PL, and Ultimate panels that lack a dedicated plug-on neutral bus.
What is the difference between the legacy QF260 and the current QF260A?
The QF260A is the direct replacement for the discontinued QF260. The A suffix indicates the integration of an automated self-test feature to comply with updated UL 943 requirements.
Can I use the QF260A to replace a Murray MP260GF?
Yes. Siemens phased out the Murray brand and officially lists the QF260A as the direct, UL-listed cross-reference replacement for Murray MP260GF and MP260GFA ground fault breakers.
How does the self-test feature on the QF260A function?
The breaker automatically runs periodic internal diagnostic tests to verify the ground fault circuitry is functional. If it detects a failure in the GFCI protection, it will trip and lock out to prevent unprotected use.
