Product FAQs

6 answers
Can I install the HOM230 in a Square D QO load center?

No. The HOM230 is designed exclusively for Square D Homeline load centers. QO load centers require QO series breakers, which have a different mounting configuration and physical footprint.

Can I terminate two wires on a single pole of the HOM230 breaker?

Yes, the clamp-style terminals on this breaker are rated to accept two solid or stranded copper conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 10 AWG. If you are using aluminum conductors or a larger 8 AWG copper wire, you may only terminate one wire per lug.

What is the recommended tightening torque for the load terminals on the HOM230?

The factory recommended tightening torque for the screw clamp terminals is 35.4 lb-in (4.0 N.m). Always use a calibrated torque tool to ensure proper connections and prevent overheating.

Is there a difference between the HOM230 and the HOM230CP?

No, the circuit breakers are functionally identical. The CP suffix simply indicates commercial packaging, meaning the breaker is shipped in a retail blister pack rather than standard bulk distributor packaging.

How many panel spaces does the HOM230 require for installation?

This 2-pole miniature circuit breaker has a standard 1-inch width per pole, requiring exactly two adjacent full-size spaces in your Homeline load center.

Is the HOM230 suitable for use with air conditioning equipment?

Yes. This breaker is HACR rated, making it approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires 30-amp overcurrent protection.
