HOM280 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

HOM280 - 80 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need an 80-amp, 2-pole breaker for a compatible Homeline load center, the HOM280 circuit breaker keeps things straightforward. This plug-in miniature circuit breaker is rated for 120/240V AC and provides standard overload and short-circuit protection with a 10 kA short-circuit current rating. It takes up two spaces in the panel and uses screw-clamp terminals that accommodate one 4 AWG through 2/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductor.

Key Features and Benefits

• 80-amp rating – Built for circuits requiring an 80-amp overcurrent protection device.
• 2-pole design – Provides two-pole circuit protection for compatible 120/240V AC applications.
• Plug-in installation – Designed to fit compatible Homeline load centers without an unnecessarily complicated mounting process.
• Copper or aluminum conductors – Accepts one conductor ranging from 4 AWG to 2/0 AWG.
• Screw-clamp terminals – Create a secure conductor connection when installed in accordance with the specified requirements.
• HACR rated – Suitable for qualifying heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications.
• UL Listed – Certified to applicable UL requirements.
• Two-space footprint – The 2-pole breaker occupies two spaces in a compatible panel.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HOM280 is UL Listed and carries an HACR rating. Its terminals are designed to accept either copper or aluminum conductors, with a specified wire range of 4 AWG through 2/0 AWG.

Where It Works Best

The HOM280 is intended for compatible Homeline load centers requiring an 80A, 2-pole, 120/240V AC plug-in circuit breaker. It's a sensible option for residential or commercial electrical systems where its voltage, amperage, interrupting rating, and panel compatibility match the application.

Because it's HACR rated, the HOM280 can also work well in applicable heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration installations that call for an HACR-rated breaker. For replacement jobs, the catalog number and electrical ratings should always be checked against the existing equipment rather than choosing a breaker based on amperage alone.
