Description
Engineered for residential applications, the Square D HOM120EPD delivers reliable 30mA ground-fault equipment protection (GFEP). This 20A, 120VAC miniature circuit breaker prevents damage to machinery by detecting low-level ground faults. It installs into Square D Homeline load centers using a standard plug-on connection and includes a pigtail neutral wire. Unlike 5mA personnel GFCI units, this Class B device uses a 30mA trip threshold specifically calibrated for equipment protection.Specifications

Product FAQs
8 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the HOM120EPD?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Square D Homeline load centers. It is not compatible with Square D QO panels or other brands of load centers.
What is the difference between this EPD breaker and a standard GFCI breaker?
The HOM120EPD is an Equipment Protection Device (EPD) with a 30mA ground fault trip threshold, known as Class B protection. Standard GFCI breakers provide Class A protection with a 4 to 6 mA trip threshold and are designed specifically for personnel protection.
What applications typically require a 30mA EPD breaker like the HOM120EPD?
EPD breakers are commonly used to protect equipment where a standard 5mA GFCI might experience nuisance tripping. Typical applications include heat trace cables, snow melting equipment, and certain industrial machinery.
Does the HOM120EPD require a neutral connection to function?
Yes, this breaker features a pigtail neutral wire that must be connected directly to the load center neutral bus bar to power the internal ground fault circuitry.
Can I use the HOM120EPD for bathroom or kitchen receptacle circuits?
No. The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires Class A 5mA personnel protection for bathrooms and kitchens. The HOM120EPD is a 30mA Class B device and does not meet the requirements for personnel protection.
Is the HOM120EPD a Plug-on Neutral breaker?
No, this specific model uses a pigtail neutral wire. It does not connect directly to a Plug-on Neutral bar and requires manually wiring the pigtail to the panel neutral bus.
What does the EPD suffix stand for on this Homeline breaker?
EPD stands for Equipment Protection Device. It indicates the breaker includes 30mA ground fault protection designed to prevent equipment damage rather than protect personnel from shock.
Does the HOM120EPD provide arc fault protection?
No, the HOM120EPD provides thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection and 30mA ground fault equipment protection. It does not include Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (CAFCI) protection.

- CSCharles S.Verified BuyerReviewingSquare D HOM215GFI - 15A GFCI Miniature Circuit BreakerI recommend this productRated 4 out of 5 stars9/25/26It did the job
My pool motor stopped running, and I found a breaker fault causing the problem. I could not find one locally, and SuperBreakers had a reasonable price with free delivery. I called and asked where they were located, as I wanted it ASAP. The New York gentleman I spoke with checked his inventory and said it would go out that afternoon. When it arrived, it was a snap to get my motor running again.

I was having a hard time finding this partifcular breaker at my local big box building materials retailer and found this and another odd size breaker. Much better price here and shipped in a couple of days. Could not be happier. I will think of this company for future projects.

- HMHope M.Verified BuyerReviewingSquare D HOM220 - 20A 2 Pole Miniature Circuit BreakerI do not recommend this productRated 1 out of 5 stars4/1/26Deceiving
I needed a specific breaker that has a large opening for the wiring. The photos were deceiving and showed what looked like the large opening I need for where the wires go. However, I received the breaker and the opening is the exact same and 2 other breakers I purchased from Home Depot and from Menards. Now I spent another $35 on a breaker I can’t even use. Shopping is outrageously priced, and I tried to return and I literally will have to PAY THEM to return this item. I’m very upset.
