Rated for 20 amps at 120/240VAC, the Square D HOM220EPD delivers robust Class B ground-fault equipment protection. This two-pole miniature breaker utilizes a 30mA trip threshold to defend sensitive 240V loads against damaging leakage currents. It is designed exclusively for Square D Homeline load centers, utilizing a simple plug-on mounting system and a factory-installed pigtail neutral. The HACR-rated unit also provides standard thermal-magnetic protection with a 10kA interrupting capacity.
Can I install the HOM220EPD in a Square D QO load center?
No. The HOM220EPD is designed exclusively for Square D Homeline load centers. QO panels require QO-series breakers, which have a different 3/4-inch form factor compared to the 1-inch Homeline format.
What is the difference between this GFEP breaker and a standard GFCI breaker?
The HOM220EPD is a Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP) breaker with a 30mA trip threshold, designed to protect equipment like heat trace cables or snow melting systems. Standard GFCI breakers have a 5mA trip threshold intended for personnel protection.
How do I wire the pigtail neutral on the HOM220EPD?
The factory-installed white pigtail wire must be connected directly to the neutral bus bar in your Homeline load center. This connection is required to power the breaker's internal ground fault sensing circuitry, even if your 240V load does not use a neutral wire.
Does the HOM220EPD require a load neutral connection?
If your 240V equipment utilizes a neutral wire, it must be connected to the load neutral terminal on the breaker. If the 240V load is strictly two-wire (no neutral), the load neutral terminal on the breaker is left empty, but the breaker's pigtail must still connect to the panel's neutral bus.
How can I visually distinguish this Homeline EPD breaker from a Homeline GFCI breaker?
Square D Homeline EPD (Equipment Protection Device) breakers feature a black test button, whereas Homeline GFCI breakers for personnel protection feature a yellow test button.
What types of loads typically require a 30mA GFEP breaker like the HOM220EPD?
GFEP breakers are commonly required by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for fixed outdoor electric deicing and snow-melting equipment, as well as electric heat tracing and heating panels.
Is there a direct replacement for the HOM220EPD?
The HOM220EPD is the current, standard catalog number for a 20A, 2-pole Homeline GFEP breaker. There are no direct alternate part numbers, though it replaces older or obsolete versions of the same Homeline 20A EPD specification.

It 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.

Good product, great price!
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.

Deceiving
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.
