Product FAQs

6 answers
What panels are compatible with the HOMT220240 quad breaker?

This breaker is exclusively compatible with Square D Homeline load centers and CSED devices. It must be installed in panel spaces that are designed to accept tandem or quad breakers. It will not fit in QO series panels or other manufacturers' enclosures.

How are the 20A and 40A circuits configured on this breaker?

The HOMT220240 features two independent 2-pole circuits. The outer two poles make up the 20A circuit, while the inner two poles make up the 40A circuit. Each circuit has its own common trip mechanism.

How many panel spaces does the HOMT220240 require?

This quad tandem breaker requires two standard 1-inch spaces in a Homeline load center to provide two separate 240V circuits.

If one circuit overloads, will both the 20A and 40A circuits trip together?

No. The inner 40A circuit and the outer 20A circuit operate independently. If a fault occurs on the 20A circuit, only the outer poles will trip, leaving the 40A inner circuit powered, and vice versa.

Can I use this breaker for two separate 240V loads?

Yes, this quad breaker is designed specifically to supply two separate 240V loads from just two panel spaces. It is commonly used to feed a 40A appliance like an electric range alongside a 20A load like a well pump or air conditioner.

Is there a difference between the HOMT220240 and HOMT220240CP?

No, the breakers are identical. The CP suffix simply indicates consumer packaging for retail display, whereas the standard HOMT220240 comes in standard distributor packaging.
