Material Compliance and Certifications

The HOM220 is UL Listed and carries an HACR rating. Its terminal arrangement is designed for approved copper or aluminum conductors within the specified wire-size ranges. For two-conductor connections, the specified range is 10 AWG to 14 AWG copper.

These certifications and clearly defined electrical ratings make it easier to determine whether the HOM220 matches the requirements of an existing installation or a new circuit.

Where It Works Best

The HOM220 makes the most sense when the job specifically calls for a 20A, 2-pole, 120/240V plug-in breaker in a compatible Homeline load center. It can be used for appropriate residential and commercial circuit-protection applications, including qualifying HACR applications, provided the electrical system and equipment requirements match the breaker's ratings.
