Built for residential power distribution, the HOM240 delivers 40 amps of thermal-magnetic protection for dedicated 240V circuits. It is commonly utilized for electric ranges, larger air conditioning condensers, or small subpanels. This two-pole unit mounts into Square D Homeline load centers and CSED devices. It occupies two standard spaces and features box lug terminals that accept 8-2 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. Carrying a 10kAIC interrupting rating, it meets standard home codes.
Can I install the HOM240 in a Square D QO load center?
No. Homeline (HOM) breakers are 1 inch per pole and are exclusively designed for Square D Homeline load centers. QO panels require QO series breakers, which are 3/4 inch per pole and utilize a different bus connection.
What is the recommended terminal tightening torque for the HOM240?
The box lugs on the HOM240 should be torqued to 40.7 lb-in (4.6 N.m) when using 8 to 2 AWG copper or aluminum wire.
Does the HOM240 require a neutral connection?
No. The standard HOM240 is a thermal-magnetic breaker and does not require a pigtail or plug-on neutral connection. Only GFCI, AFCI, or dual-function breakers require a neutral connection.
What is the difference between the HOM240 and HOM240CP?
The CP suffix indicates commercial packaging, meaning the breaker comes in a retail blister pack. The circuit breaker itself is identical to the standard HOM240.
Is the Square D HOM240 HACR rated?
Yes, the HOM240 is HACR rated, making it suitable for group motor applications in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

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.
