Overview
The Square D HOM240 is a 40 A, 120/240 V AC, two-pole Homeline circuit breaker for compatible Square D Homeline load centers. It uses standard thermal-magnetic protection, plug-in mounting, a screw-clamp load connection, and a 10 kA interrupting rating.
Key Features
-
Thermal-magnetic protection: Responds to sustained overload and short-circuit conditions on manufacturer-approved circuits.
-
Two-pole common trip: Disconnects both poles together for compatible 120/240 V AC loads.
-
Homeline installation: Plug-in construction is designed for Square D Homeline load centers listed to accept HOM240.
-
40 A rating: Supports manufacturer-approved two-pole branch or feeder circuits with a 10 kA interrupting capacity.
