Eaton hom1515 Tandem Circuit Breaker 15A 15A

Product Description

The EATON hom1515 is a tandem miniature circuit breaker designed for use in residential electrical panels and load centers. Also called a duplex or twin breaker, it fits a single breaker slot while providing two independent 15-amp overcurrent protection circuits. This design allows a full-size load center to accommodate additional branch circuits without requiring a larger enclosure. The hom1515 is part of the Homeline series and is typically installed by licensed electricians during panel upgrades, service changes, or load center capacity expansions.

This tandem circuit breaker is suited for residential applications where single-pole 15-amp branch circuit protection is needed and panel space is limited. Common install scenarios include adding lighting, receptacle, or small-appliance circuits to an existing Homeline load center without replacing the panel cabinet. It is intended for use in single-phase, 120-volt branch circuits in dwelling units and light commercial occupancies where the load center accepts tandem-style breakers.

Key Features

• Tandem design provides two 15-amp circuits in a single breaker slot
• Single-pole configuration for 120-volt branch circuit protection
• Homeline series form factor for compatible Homeline load centers
• Overcurrent and short-circuit protection for branch circuits
• Compact duplex format conserves panel space during capacity expansions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or expansion breaker for residential Homeline series load centers that accept tandem miniature circuit breakers in designated tandem-capable slots.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always de-energize the load center and verify the absence of voltage before installing or replacing any circuit breaker. Confirm that the target load center slot is rated to accept a tandem breaker before installation, as not all slots in a Homeline panel are tandem-capable. Follow the load center's directory and wiring diagram for proper circuit assignment.
