Siemens QFG 20-amp 1-Pole Dual Function Afci/Gfci Plug-on Neutral Circuit Breaker

Siemens introduces the new simple, spacious and secure Plug-on neutral load centers with electronic breakers. The Dual Function plug-on neutral breaker offers Combination Type Arc Fault and 5mA GFCI protection in one device. The new design allows for the same reliable installation method using the neutral clip as the line side clip. The small footprint allows for over 4 inches of wire bending space. 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 2 devices into once solution that provides both cost savings and less hassle in installation and maintenance. This is a win solution for everyone. Testing GFCI's and AFCI's 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 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. This effortless system guarantees that only the best protection is given to your home at all times.
