Engineered to handle higher current demands, this 50A single-pole breaker delivers dependable thermal-magnetic protection. It is frequently deployed for high-draw dedicated residential circuits. Designed exclusively for the Homeline family, the unit mounts easily into compatible panelboards. The box lug terminals accept 8-2 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. This HACR-rated device features a 10kA interrupt capacity, ensuring safe operation for standard HVAC applications.
Can I install this breaker in a Square D QO load center?
No. Homeline (HOM) breakers are exclusively designed for Square D Homeline load centers. They are not interchangeable with QO series panels, which require a different mounting clip design.
What is the recommended tightening torque for the box lugs on this breaker?
The manufacturer specifies a tightening torque of 40.7 lb-in (4.6 N.m) for the box lug terminals when using 8 to 2 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
How much panel space does this breaker require?
As a standard 1-pole miniature circuit breaker, it requires a single 1-inch space in a compatible Homeline load center.
What does the LI trip function mean for this breaker?
LI indicates that the breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit with Long-Time and Instantaneous functions. The long-time function protects against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function trips immediately during a short circuit.
Is this breaker HACR rated?
Yes, the HOM150 is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific designation.
Does this breaker provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No. The HOM150 is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker. It does not include ground-fault (GFCI) or arc-fault (AFCI) protection circuitry.
Is there a difference between the HOM150 and HOM150CP?
No, the breakers are identical. The CP suffix simply indicates commercial packaging, meaning the breaker is sold in a retail blister pack rather than bulk cardboard packaging.
