It delivers reliable ground fault protection at 240V and carries a robust 10,000 AIC interrupting rating. This unit is compatible with Siemens load centers that accept QPF type breakers and is UL Listed and CSA Certified as a Class A device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standout feature is its self-test capability. Running automatically and continuously, it verifies proper operation in line with UL 943 requirements. If a condition is detected that could compromise safety, the breaker trips itself and locks out, helping prevent an unsafe reset and giving you a clearer signal that attention is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCore benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble pole, 50 A protection supports larger circuits with high current demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10,000 AIC interrupting rating for strong fault current handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-test functionality aligns with UL 943 safety standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLockout feature reduces the risk of unsafe resets after a fault is detected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass A GFCI protection for reliable ground fault detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage: 240 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent: 50 A, 2-pole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterrupting rating: 10,000 AIC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGFCI type: QPF2 class, Class A protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-test and lockout as part of safety features\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReal world applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdeal for kitchens, bathrooms, spas, hot tubs, and other spaces where moisture or complex circuits benefit from ground fault protection.
