HOM220 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

HOM220 - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

The HOM220 from the Homeline™ series by Schneider Electric delivers dependable safety and protection for both residential and light-commercial electrical panels. Rated at 20 amps and compatible with 120/240 V AC systems, this 2-pole breaker offers peace of mind for your branch circuits. With a 10 kA interrupting capacity, the HOM220 can handle high fault currents and guard your equipment against overloads and short-circuits. Designed for easy plug-in mounting into Homeline load centres, it ensures a clean installation, while the clamp-terminal design accepts both copper and aluminium conductors for added flexibility. Whether you’re upgrading an existing panel or installing a new circuit, the HOM220 combines user-friendly installation with certified performance.

Key Features and Benefits

• Quick installation: The plug-in mounting design simplifies installation in Homeline panels, saving time on site.
• Reliable protection: HACR rated for HVAC systems and backed by UL listing to deliver strong assurance of safety performance.
• Flexible wiring support: Clamp terminals accept 1 × AWG 14-8 aluminium/copper or 2 × AWG 14-10 copper, accommodating various conductor choices.
