Product Overview

The Siemens P220GFA Low Voltage Residential GFCI Circuit Breaker is a 2-pole, 20-amp ground-fault circuit interrupter designed to provide personnel protection for compatible residential pool and spa electrical systems.

The P220GFA is commonly used with pool pumps, automation systems, and other compatible equipment requiring a dedicated 20A GFCI-protected circuit. Pentair also lists P220GFA in its current automation catalog as a 2-pole 20-amp GFCI compatible with IntelliTouch® and EasyTouch® control systems.

Designed for Pool & Spa Equipment

Ground-fault protection is particularly important around swimming pools, spas, and other wet environments.

The P220GFA continuously protects the connected circuit and is designed to interrupt electrical power when a qualifying ground fault is detected.

Ideal For

Common applications may include compatible:

Variable-speed pool pumps

Single-speed pool pumps

Pool automation systems

Spa equipment

Water-feature equipment

Other 20A pool or spa circuits requiring GFCI protection

Circuit requirements should always be confirmed against the equipment manufacturer's specifications and applicable electrical codes.

Benefits

Ground-Fault Protection

A GFCI monitors electrical current and interrupts power when it detects a hazardous imbalance that may indicate current leaking to ground.

This additional protection is especially important around:

• Swimming pools
• Spas
• Equipment pads
• Wet environments
• Pumps and motors
• Outdoor electrical equipment
