When it comes to protecting your home from electrical hazards, having the right safety equipment isn't just a good idea—it's essential. The Siemens QA120AFC 20-Amp AFCI breaker offers peace of mind by detecting dangerous arc faults that can lead to electrical fires before they become a serious problem.
This combination-type AFCI circuit breaker goes beyond standard breakers by monitoring your electrical system for arc faults, which often occur when damaged wires create dangerous electrical arcs. The built-in LED trip indicators light up whenever the breaker trips, making it incredibly easy to identify what caused the last interruption in service.
Siemens has made several improvements that make this breaker easier to work with. The design features 1/4 inch more wire bend space than previous models, giving you more room to make clean, secure connections. Both lugs are positioned at the same angle, eliminating the awkward reaching and twisting required with older designs.
With a 25 lb./in. torque rating, this breaker can handle the demands of modern electrical systems while maintaining secure connections. The plug-on design makes installation straightforward, whether you're a professional electrician or a homeowner comfortable with electrical work.
This breaker is perfect for protecting bedrooms, living areas, and other residential spaces where arc fault protection is required by modern electrical codes. It's especially useful in older homes where wiring may be more susceptible to damage over time. The combination-type design provides both series arc and parallel arc fault protection, giving you comprehensive coverage against potential fire hazards.
