💡 Siemens Q215AFCP Industrial Electrical Combination Interrupter, 120 Volt Review

This Industrial and Scientific electrical product is a life-saver for anyone working with heavy electrical equipment. Through trial and error, I found that this circuit protection device works seamlessly, providing stability and security in even the most complicated systems. The pros: The device is rugged, reliable and high performing. The cons: The user manual could be more detailed. Overall, this is an excellent solution for any industrial electrical application, providing peace of mind and a

thank God for that. I have 4 circuits in my house where the "electrician" who hooked it up ran 14/3 wire to make two circuits instead of two 14/2 circuits, using a common neutral wire to save money, thank you. Loser. This allows you to use the same two circuits on an AFCI circuit breaker and be compliant as AFCI circuit protection is required for almost every 15 or 20 amp circuit in your home.

Siemens (Murray) renamed these CAFCIs mid-cycle to hide the fact that they detect some degree of ground fault. I think the detection threshold is around 30mA (instead of >5mA for Class A GFCI or GFCI + CAFCI combos). On newer versions, the front label of the circuit breaker hides the ground fault LED (it's still there if you cut/remove the label!) and the packaging text has been updated to remove references to ground fault detection. I suspect homeowners are confused - and assuming that the…
