Eaton hom220 Double Pole Circuit Breaker 120/240V 20A

Product Description

The EATON hom220 is a double-pole, 20-amp miniature circuit breaker designed for residential and light commercial electrical panels. It operates at 120/240 volts AC at 50/60 Hz and carries an interrupting rating of 10 kiloamperes at 120/240 VAC. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism provides both overload and short-circuit protection. A plug-on mounting design allows for straightforward installation in compatible load centers and panelboards. Licensed electricians and qualified electrical contractors are the typical installers for this breaker type.

The hom220 is suited for residential load centers and HOM-series panelboards. It accepts wire sizes 14 to 8 AWG aluminum or copper, and 14 to 10 AWG copper for double-conductor applications. The common-trip design on this 2-pole configuration ensures both legs open simultaneously on a fault, which is required for 240-volt branch circuits serving appliances such as dryers, water heaters, and HVAC equipment.

Key Features

• Double-pole, 20-amp thermal-magnetic circuit protection
• Rated 120/240 VAC at 50/60 Hz and 48 VDC
• 10 kA interrupting rating at 120/240 VAC; 5 kA at 48 VDC
• Plug-on mounting for fast, tool-minimized installation
• Accepts 14 to 8 AWG aluminum or copper conductors
• Common-trip design opens both poles simultaneously on a fault

Compatibility

Designed for use with HOM-series load centers, HOM panelboards, and OEM interior Speed-D switchboard distribution panels that accept plug-on style breakers in this form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always de-energize the panel and verify absence of voltage before handling any breaker or bus bar. Confirm conductor wire gauge and material are within the rated range before terminating. Do not exceed the breaker ampere rating for the connected load.
