Material Compliance and Certifications

The HOM140 is UL Listed and HACR rated. UL listing provides recognized third-party certification, while the HACR rating makes the breaker appropriate for qualifying heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications when an HACR-rated protective device is required.

Its terminal accommodates both copper and aluminum conductors from 8 AWG through 2 AWG, giving installers flexibility when working with appropriately sized circuit wiring. As with any circuit breaker, the conductor type and size, circuit requirements, panel compatibility, and applicable electrical codes should all be confirmed before installation.

Where It Works Best

The HOM140 40A circuit breaker is a good fit when you need a single-pole, 120V plug-in breaker for a compatible Homeline electrical panel or load center. Its one-space design is especially useful when panel space matters, and the 40-amp rating makes it suitable for circuits and equipment specifically designed around that level of overcurrent protection.
