Siemens Q120DF 20-Amp Afci/Gfci Dual Function Circuit Breaker, Plug on Load Center Style, Black
Description
Two state-of-the-art technologies packaged in one small device – The Dual
Function Circuit Breaker combines GFCI and AFCI, protecting against both Arc
Faults and Ground Faults. This, along with the new Self Test & Lockout
feature, makes it the first in class in electrical safety for homeowners. The
2014 National Electrical Code (NEC) now requires both Arc Fault and Ground
Fault protection on kitchen and laundry circuits. Before the release of Dual
Function Circuit Breakers, the only option to comply with this code was to
pair an AFCI circuit breaker with a GFCI receptacle. The Dual Function Circuit
breaker combines these two devices into one solution that provides both cost
savings and less hassle in installation and maintenance. This is a win
solution for everyone. A device that tests itself – Testing GFCIs and AFCIs on
a monthly basis is a good idea that is sometimes forgotten. Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) suggests that AFCI/GFCI devices be tested every 30 days
after installation to ensure they are properly working. Now the new Self Test
& Lockout feature enables the Dual Function Circuit Breaker to automatically
and continuously test itself to ensure that it is working properly. If it is
detected that the device has been compromised, the device trips itself and
locks out the homeowner from resetting the device, reducing the possibility of
the homeowner incorrectly assuming that the device was tripped to prevent a
ground/arc fault. This effortless system guarantees that only the best
protection is given to your home at all times.
Features:
- Faster, more cost effective installation to meet code requirements compared to installing an AFCI breaker and GFI receptacle
- For use on Siemens load centers that accept UL type QFGA2 breakers
- Siemens exclusive LED trip indicator pinpoints cause of trip
- HACR, SWD, 120 Volt AC rated
- The breaker requires power to run the self test / trip functions (will not test / trip when not installed)
