These new panels will work with the latest Murray or Siemens load centers, and the breakers will fit on either. It is typically necessary to have the same company design and manufacture both the breaker and the panel to comply with The Murray load centers are just a cheaper version of the Siemens breakers that Murray owns. The breakers are identical, and Murray owns the Murray breakers. The majority of the time if the form factor is correct, then it'll work. However, for a while there was an issue with AFCI breakers and Siemens was relabelling them. There are no differences in the size of the breakers used by Siemens, Murray, and GE. Although technically putting Siemens in Siemens or ge in Siemens is a code violation, in practical terms, it works well.
It will be up to the load center if they confirm, but if the label lists the QPF series as one of the allowed breaker types, then the QAF series will work.
Could you please clarify what a fault current of 30 milliamps means? A "Type A" GFCI breaker is described as being used here. As defined by Type A, on a ground fault, 6mA is needed to trip. A Type C GFCI breaker has a fault trip point between 15 and 20 mA for applications that require a higher fault trip point. In such a case, a GFCI breaker with a 30 mA fault trip point seems pretty useless. If you don't need a floppy disk, you can always use an external disk Circuit breaker with GFCI monitoring.

For my entire house, my main circuit breaker panel is equipped with these and similar devices. In the last week of this year, the one in my garage door (it's one plug in the house) kept tripping when the outside temperature exceeded 100° F. After the third reset, the extension cord was hooked up to the There were a week of days over 100°, and we didn't trip that breaker. After visiting many hardware stores in my area, and yes, there were multiple stores, I was unable to find an inventory of the Siemens QPF version. The salespeople did not know what I needed, and they did not have this available. Due to not wanting to risk buying another brand like Murry or GE and having it not fit or worse, I opted to purchase this one. According to the instructions on the door of the breaker box, it was the correct type, and it After flipping the switch to off, I checked to make sure there was no electricity, then removed the screws holding the two main wires, as well as the ground screw holding the long white wire. I then removed the breaker. The new one fit in, the ground wire was cut to length, and then it was connected first, then the white and black wires were installed and tightened. A breaker has been flipped and the garage door opener is plugged in. I have had this one for two weeks without any problems. In addition, it's around $20 less than what you'd find locally.
There was no way of knowing if the pool pump was going to deliver the magic anymore (it was leaking and looking a little worse for wear). There would be a random trip of the breaker. As a result, the pool pump can be powered by two circuits. After switching to the other outlet, I had no problems (it didn't fix the leak that was occurring, but didn't expect it to disappear by plugging it into a different As a result, I did not experience any more erratic trips once I replaced the breaker. My pump was rebuilt and I installed a new motor on it (because I thought it would be prudent).
The Siemens brand is well respected and is known for its reliability and great value. The program does exactly what it is supposed to do. Even if you don't have what it takes, it's not too difficult to install, and the directions are simple enough to follow even if you don't know what it's for. Therefore, if you are not comfortable with this type of work I would suggest hiring someone else. This kind of work is not forgiving if you make an error or are careless.
It is an improvement over the QF120. No need to tie one's loadneutral up with a dumb pigtail. It is true that there is still a pigtail on the neutral bus, but this is to be The breaker trips when the local test button and the simulated fault with a gfci tester are used on a socket that is not a gfci socket.
Several breaker types were available locally, but all were ground breaker types. The original breakers installed three years ago had to be replaced as two had failed. My relative is a professional electrician, and due to poor quality, he has stopped using Siemens equipment. My only options locally were combined ground and arc fault breakers that did not suit my needs in a shop setting.
A circuit of 15 amps used in an airstream RV to replace the GFCI. It may just be that I didn't properly insert the wire by the first try My initial assumption was that it would not Later on, I was able to use it again. Since the bottom wire is made of very thick copper, it can be difficult to work on it amongst all the other wires in the small circuit box of the travel trailer. By cutting off some of the coils, I was able to get the problem fixed. It has been a true pleasure to find this obscure treasure The item has been found!.
In the end, I removed the GFI plug from the main panel and installed this GFI breaker in its place. I could never find any fault in the wiring or the actual plugs. Now that it has been two months, there are no.
The app was installed without issue, and I have not had a false trip since then. A Siemens breaker I had was false tripping regularly before the new one was installed. This was the best price I could find local, since I couldn't find it anywhere else. Thanks so much!.
