Material Compliance and Certifications

The HOM2175BB is UL Listed and HACR rated. Its terminals are designed to accommodate either copper or aluminum conductors, provided the conductor falls within the specified 4 AWG to 300 kcmil range.

The supplied manufacturer information does not identify any additional material compliance certifications, so claims beyond the documented certifications have been intentionally omitted.

Where It Works Best

This breaker is a strong fit when the job calls for a 175A, 2-pole, 120/240VAC breaker in a compatible Homeline load center. It can be used for qualifying residential or other electrical applications where its voltage, amperage, interrupting rating, conductor range, and HACR rating meet the system requirements.

For replacement work, don't choose a breaker based on amperage and physical appearance alone. Check the load center requirements and verify the catalog number, 2-pole configuration, 175A rating, 120/240VAC rating, 10kA short-circuit rating, four-space design, conductor requirements, and plug-in mounting before installation. That quick compatibility check can prevent a lot of headaches once the job is underway.
