Circuit Breakers
Arc-Fault and Ground-Fault Breakers
Selection/Wiring Diagrams
Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCI)
AFCI’s detect arcing faults (an unintentional arcing condition in a circuit) that
standard circuit breakers are unable to detect. The device is intended to mitigate
the effects of arcing faults by functioning to de-energize the circuit when an arcfault is detected.
Combination Type AFCI
Detects all three possible types of arc fault: line-to-ground, line-to-neutral, and series.

UL Classified
Siemens Type QD circuit breakers are
UL Classified for use in specific Square
D load centers in place of Square D Type
QO® circuit breakers. A Panelboard
Compatibility List packaged with each
QD breaker shows which type QD
circuit breakers are acceptable for
use in Square D load centers.
The interrupting rating on these circuit
breakers is 10,000A IR maximum and
they are not series rated with Square D
circuit breakers or equipment. This UL
Classification allows a Siemens Type QD
circuit breaker to be used in place of a
Square D Type QO circuit breaker in
those load centers that are specifically
shown on the Panelboard Compatibility
list. For additional information, contact
your local Siemens sales engineer.

Surge Protection
Circuit Breaker and Surge Protective Device (SPD)
Features
Circuit Breaker and
Surge Protective Device (SPD)
▪ 2 inch wide plug-on design
— Includes (2) 1 Pole circuits breakers
­— No loss of load center spaces
▪ Easy to install and perfect for retrofit
▪ LEDs provide protection status
Benefits
By installing a Siemens Circuit Breaker and Surge Protective Device (SPD) in the
load center of the residence, surge protection is provided for all branch circuits.
Two green LED indicator lights are provided to show that surge protection is provided for all circuits connected to the load center. These breakers should be used
for circuit protection of frequently used household or facility circuits because the
lights and devices connected to these circuits provide an effective indication that
surge protection is being provided.
The circuit breaker and SPD utilize Siemens-built 150V AC, 40mm, metal oxide
varistors (MOVs). The maximum impulse rating for the SPD module is 40kA. The
standard interrupting rating for the circuit breakers is 10k AIC. All Type QP circuit
breakers and SPD are plug-on style, with load terminals provided. The devices
are rated for 120/240V AC and are calibrated for 40 degrees C maximum ambient
applications.
