Information About QF240A
The QF240A is part of Siemens’ QF Series, a family of breakers developed to deliver Class A ground-fault protection in branch-circuit applications. Constructed with a molded-case housing and equipped with thermal magnetic trip functionality, it ensures reliable response to both overloads and short-circuit conditions. Its 2-pole configuration supports 120/240 VAC single-phase systems, providing balanced circuit protection. The breaker accommodates 8–6 AWG conductors and uses lug terminals for secure wiring connections. Compact in size and designed for panel board mounting, the QF240A integrates seamlessly into residential electrical systems requiring sensitive ground-fault protection.
Key Features:
- 40A current rating: Suitable for mid-range residential branch circuits.
- 120/240 VAC operation: Ideal for standard single-phase distribution.
- 2-pole configuration: Protects both legs of a 240V circuit.
- 5 mA ground-fault trip: Provides Class A personnel protection.
- Thermal magnetic trip: Safeguards against overloads and short circuits.
- 10 kA interrupt rating: Handles significant fault currents safely.
- Plug-in connection: Enables quick installation in compatible panels.
- Lug terminals: Supports secure wiring with 8–6 AWG conductors.
The QF240A delivers the reliability and precision required for safe, code-compliant protection in residential and commercial electrical systems.
