Product FAQs

7 answers
Can I install the HOM280 in a Square D QO load center?

No. Square D Homeline (HOM) breakers are 1 inch per pole and are only compatible with Homeline load centers. QO breakers are 3/4 inch per pole and use a different busbar connection.

Is this breaker compatible with panels from other manufacturers?

No. The HOM280 is UL listed exclusively for use in Square D Homeline load centers. Using it in other brands voids the UL listing and violates NEC guidelines.

How much panel space does the HOM280 require?

As a 2-pole Homeline breaker, it requires two standard 1-inch spaces, taking up a total of 2 inches on the busbar.

What is the recommended tightening torque for the box lugs?

The box lugs on the HOM280 should be torqued to 42.5 lb-in (4.8 N-m) for 4 AWG to 2/0 AWG copper or aluminum wire.

Is the HOM280 HACR rated?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

Can the HOM280 be used as a back-fed main breaker?

Yes, it can be back-fed. However, the National Electrical Code (NEC) requires a breaker retaining kit when used as a back-fed main. Check your specific Homeline panel wiring diagram for the correct retaining kit part number.

Does this breaker require a neutral connection?

No. The HOM280 is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker, not a GFCI or AFCI device. It does not require a neutral connection or pigtail to operate.
