Siemens QA115AFC Arc Fault Circuit Breaker, 15A, 1-Pole, 120/240V
Description
The Siemens QA115AFC is a plug-in combination arc-fault circuit breaker (CAFCI) that provides comprehensive protection for residential and commercial electrical systems. This breaker detects and interrupts dangerous arc faults that could lead to electrical fires, safeguarding your home or workspace from hazards caused by worn insulation, damaged wiring, misapplied appliances, and loose electrical connections.
Combination type CAFCI breakers like the QA115AFC protect both branch/feeder circuits and outlet circuits, making them suitable for new construction, remodels, and system upgrades. The dual-function design guards against arcing faults and ground leaks while also providing overload and short-circuit protection. With copper components built to withstand daily use and reliable performance across standard residential and commercial applications, this breaker delivers the safety and durability you need.
Features and Benefits
- Combination Arc-Fault Protection: Protects downstream branch circuit wiring, cord sets, and power supply cords from dangerous arcs and ground faults in one device.
- Trip Condition Indicators: Two LEDs display for 5 seconds each time the breaker is powered on, and continue to indicate the last known trip condition for up to 30 days after a trip—one LED signals an arcing fault, two LEDs signal an arcing fault to ground.
- Comprehensive Safety: Defends against worn electrical insulation, damaged wire, misapplied or damaged appliances, and loose connections.
- Wide Voltage Compatibility: Operates reliably on both 120 V and 240 V power supplies for flexibility in various electrical systems.
- Easy Installation: Single-pole, plug-in design fits standard electrical panels with minimal installation effort.
- UL Listed: Meets rigorous safety standards and complies with NEC requirements for CAFCI protection.
