HOM270 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

HOM270 - 70 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a 70-amp breaker for a compatible Homeline load center, the HOM270 keeps things straightforward. This 2-pole, 70A circuit breaker is rated for 120/240V AC and provides standard circuit protection with a 10 kA short-circuit current rating. Its plug-in design makes it a natural fit for the Homeline system, while screw-clamp terminals accept one copper or aluminum conductor from 8 AWG through 2 AWG.

Key Features and Benefits

• 70-amp, 2-pole design for compatible 120/240V AC applications.
• Plug-in mounting is designed specifically for compatible Homeline load centers.
• Two-space configuration makes breaker requirements easy to identify when checking available panel space.
• Flexible conductor range accommodates one 8 AWG to 2 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
• Screw-clamp terminals provide a secure connection when tightened to the specified torque.
• HACR rated for applicable heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment applications.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HOM270 is UL Listed and HACR rated. Its terminals are designed to accept either copper or aluminum conductors within the specified 8 AWG to 2 AWG range.

The supplied product information does not identify additional material-compliance certifications, so none are assumed here. For electrical equipment, sticking to documented ratings and certifications is especially important when confirming that a breaker is appropriate for a particular installation.

Where It Works Best

The HOM270 is intended for compatible Homeline load centers where the electrical design calls for a 70A, 2-pole breaker rated at 120/240V AC. It's well-suited to properly specified circuits that require a two-pole breaker with a 10 kA interrupting rating. It can also be used in applicable HACR applications when the electrical requirements match.
