Perfect for backup power.

This Square D circuit breaker fits the Older style service panels, and will not fully engage contacts on the Newer Service Panel, this could lead to a fire. Had to return,(did not fit my later panel, panel installed after 1989) Newer style Breaker is shown on the right. Home Depot should add more pictures to avoid this problem.

The added protection of GFCI in a circuit breaker brings peace of mind and easy code compliance. This breaker as multiple wiring options to fit different power feeds and devices. The panel neutral coil is long enough to reach the bar and still be dressed in neatly. A test button makes it easy to check the installation. The handle has clear ON, Trip and OFF positions like most breakers now. It fits in any Square D Homeline panel.

I installed this breaker to protect outlets near a large sink in an out building. It does protrude somewhat higher than the other HOM breakers in my load center but it does not hit the door. You must attach the coiled neutral white wire to the neutral bus in the load center. Otherwise there is no protection and the self test button will not work. You should test the breaker at least once a month for proper operation but I would not test more often since all breaker like this have a finite number of trip cycles before failure. I personally worked for the division in Square D that manufactured the GFCI modules for these. The label on the breaker is now in poor condition because I was not careful in putting the cover back on the box. Mia culpa.

This is multifunctional double pole GFCI breaker. It can be used on 3-wire 120/240V, two wire 240V or multi-wire circuits. Format is TIPO HOM so it fits on any GE/Siemens panel. The GFCI protection is lightning fast at 10,000 AIR/A nom I, which I measured at 0.05 seconds. It is not 2x single pole, it is balancing load interrupter which adds a layer of protection on double pole circuits that you can only have with the double pole breaker such as this one. At 2x25A this won't be the one for HVAC applications, but perfect for hot tub, or a dryer. In terms of pricing, it is a little expensive, but then you can't really put a price on a life that can be endangered. Those breakers are must have according to code in almost all states and offer excellent quality and protection. It comes in a clam-type packaging, well insulated and totally safe for online ordering. Nothing other than #1 electrical square screwdriver is needed for the installation and the bus clamps are pre-treated with a dab of dielectric grease for better contact and to prevent oxidation of the clamp surfaces.

This 2-pole circuit breaker comes with a ground fault circuit interrupter. It is 120/240 volts at 60 Hz. 10,000 AIR/A nom.I. It has a test button. It is only for use in square D home line load centers rated 70 A and higher. Each breaker side is 25 amps. It is UL listed and comes with instructions. It is type TIPO HOM. Easy to reset . I think this circuit breaker will come in handy when I need an extra circuit breaker. Maybe for a hot water heater.

Good supply of parts andd materials.
