Built for residential use, the Square D HOMT225240 is a quad tandem breaker that maximizes panel capacity. It delivers two independent 2-pole circuits (25A and 40A) while occupying just two standard spaces. This plug-on breaker installs into Square D Homeline load centers and CSED devices. It serves as a direct replacement for the discontinued HOMT225240CP. Rated for 10 kAIC at 120/240VAC, it features thermal-magnetic trip technology and is HACR rated for HVAC equipment.
How many panel spaces does the HOMT225240 require?
This quad tandem breaker requires two standard 1-inch panel spaces. It provides two independent 2-pole circuits, one 25A and one 40A, allowing you to maximize capacity in a Homeline load center.
Does this breaker accept the same wire sizes for both circuits?
No, the wire capacity differs between the two circuits. The 25A circuit accepts 14 to 8 AWG copper or aluminum wire, while the 40A circuit accepts 14 to 6 AWG copper or aluminum wire. Always verify your conductor sizes before installation.
Can I install the HOMT225240 in any Square D panel?
No, this breaker is exclusively compatible with Square D Homeline load centers and CSED devices. It will not fit in Square D QO panels, which require QO-format breakers.
Will this quad breaker fit in every slot of a Homeline load center?
No, tandem and quad breakers must be installed in panel positions specifically notched to accept them. Check your load center's wiring diagram or busbar configuration to identify tandem-compatible slots.
Is the HOMT225240 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated. It is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that falls within the 25A and 40A circuit parameters.
Do the 2-pole circuits on this quad breaker have a common trip?
Yes, both the 25A and 40A 2-pole circuits feature an internal common trip. If an overload or short circuit occurs on one leg of a circuit, both poles for that specific circuit will trip simultaneously to disconnect power.
What is the difference between the HOMT225240 and the HOMT225240CP?
The CP suffix simply denotes consumer packaging for retail sale. The circuit breaker itself is identical in form, fit, and function to the standard HOMT225240.
