Homeline Load Center Main Breaker Retaining Kit

Hello, The correct kit to use for the SO2040VP would be catalog number RCGK2. Regards, Customer Care Center

This device isn't dependent on the panel type. It depends on the breakers installed within the panel. It is designed for a BR2 or 3-pole main. These come with a predrilled hole that allows the clamp to be applied over the breaker paddle. It doesn't secure the breaker to the panel, it prevents the breaker paddle from being thrown into the off position. In panels that don't have a breaker position between the line side and the panel bus, the breaker acting as the main (installed in a slot) is locked off so for the unknowing, they don't think it's a regular circuit and trip it. For the knowing, it tells them this is the acting main for that panel. For panels with a 3-pole main, it says when installed, never turn the main off ( a qualified electrician should determine when it is appropriate to lock-off a main breaker in this instance. ) A retaining kit is NOT used in a main panel (connection to service) as this creates a hazardous condition if the breaker can't trip. They are used in sub-panels that are protected up the line at the service entrance main by an un-retained breaker.

No. 100A exceeds limits for backfed solar application with this device. Please call our Technical Support group at 1-888-778-2733, option 1, for discussion.

Thank you for your inquiry. For Series S01 and S02 HOM816L125 load centers, retaining kit HOM4RK2LA secures one circuit breaker to right side of interior when used as a back-fed main.

Thank you for inquiry. There is no retaining kit for this device.

HOMC21UC and HOMC20U100C are cover numbers. For proper selection of generator interlock, if available, please confirm the catalog number and the series number of the load center itself. Please call our Technical Support line for assistance at 1-888-778-2733, option 1.

HOMCGK2 is the correct generator interlock kit for use with HOM3060M200PC.

No. The limitation is the capacity of the panel bus. Manufacturers use the same cabinet for a variety of panels and rate them based on the load the installed bus can handle. The appearance of extra space doesn't mean the bus can handle the additional load (otherwise, it would be a different bus and a different panel.) This panel is rated at 125 amps of capacity, which means that at most, you may have 8, 15-amp breakers. Note that 8, 20-amp breakers (or any combination more than 125 amps) exceeds the capacity of the bus and would be very dangerous.

Use HOM4RK2LA retaining kit when backfeeding a branch-mounted HOM breaker as the main. HOM816L125PC may also be converted to main breaker style with the addition of a QOM1 main breaker kit.
