HOM215GFI - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

HOM215GFI - 15 Amp Circuit Breaker

When a circuit calls for both standard protection and Class A ground-fault protection, the HOM215GFI Homeline 15 Amp 2-Pole GFCI Circuit Breaker puts both functions into one compact breaker. Rated for 15 amps and 120/240V AC, it protects against overloads and short circuits while also monitoring for potentially hazardous ground faults. If you're replacing an existing breaker or matching equipment specifications, HOM215GFI gives you an easy-to-identify combination of 15A capacity, two-pole protection, 120/240V operation, and Class A GFCI protection.

Key Features and Benefits

• 15A, 2-pole breaker for compatible 120/240V AC circuits.
• Class A GFCI protection trips at ground-fault current of 6 mA or greater.
• Handles three important jobs in one device: overload, short-circuit, and ground-fault protection.
• Plug-in construction makes it a natural match for compatible Homeline load centers.
• Takes up two load center spaces.
• Includes a pigtail neutral connection.
• Screw-clamp terminals provide a secure connection for approved copper or aluminum conductors.
• HACR rated for qualifying heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HOM215GFI is UL Listed and HACR rated. Its Class A ground-fault protection is designed around a 6 mA trip threshold, while conventional breaker functions protect the circuit against overload and short-circuit conditions.

Connection options are flexible, too. The screw-clamp terminals accommodate 14 AWG through 6 AWG copper conductors or 12 AWG through 4 AWG aluminum conductors, with a specified tightening torque of 4.6 N·m. As with any circuit breaker installation, conductor size, load center compatibility, circuit requirements, and applicable electrical codes should be verified before installation.

Where It Works Best

The HOM215GFI 15A 2-pole GFCI breaker is intended for compatible Homeline load centers where a 120/240V circuit requires Class A ground-fault protection along with normal overload and short-circuit protection. Its two-pole configuration makes it particularly useful when the application specifically calls for a 15-amp, 120/240V, two-pole GFCI breaker.

It can also be used in qualifying HACR applications where its electrical ratings and protection requirements are appropriate. The key is getting the match right. Before replacing a breaker, check more than the amp rating: verify the HOM215GFI catalog number, two-pole configuration, 120/240V rating, 10 kA interrupting rating, Class A GFCI requirement, conductor size, and load center compatibility.
