Product FAQs
8 answersWhich load centers are compatible with the QF260AH circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed for use in Siemens EQ, EQL, SEQ, EQG, PL, and ES Series load centers. It is not interchangeable with other brands like GE, Square D, or Eaton unless specifically UL-listed for the panel.
What is the difference between the Siemens QF260A and the QF260AH?
The H in the QF260AH catalog number indicates a higher interrupting rating. The QF260AH is rated for 22kAIC, whereas the standard QF260A is rated for 10kAIC.
What is the difference between Siemens QF and QE series breakers?
The QF series provides Class A personnel protection with a 5mA trip threshold. The QE series provides Equipment Protection (GFEP) with a 30mA trip threshold and is not designed for personnel protection.
What level of ground fault protection does the QF260AH provide?
The QF260AH is a Class A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). It is designed to trip when it detects a current imbalance of 4 to 6 milliamps, providing personnel protection against electrical shock.
Does the QF260AH include a self-test feature?
Yes, modern Siemens QF series GFCI breakers include a self-test and lockout feature as required by UL 943. This allows the breaker to automatically and continuously test its internal ground fault circuitry to ensure it is functioning properly.
How is the neutral connection wired on the QF260AH?
This breaker features a pigtail neutral connection. The attached white pigtail wire must be routed and secured directly to the neutral bus bar in the load center for the ground fault protection to function correctly.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this 60A GFCI breaker?
The lugs accept 8 to 4 AWG copper wire or 8 to 2 AWG aluminum wire.
What trip functions are included in the QF260AH?
This thermal magnetic breaker includes Long-Time, Instantaneous, and Ground-Fault (LIG) trip functions. It provides standard overload and short circuit protection alongside the 5mA personnel ground fault protection.
