Eaton hom250 50A Double Pole Miniature Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The EATON hom250 is a double-pole miniature circuit breaker rated for 50 amps at 120/240 volts AC. It is part of the Homeline series, engineered for plug-in installation into Homeline load centers. The breaker delivers standard overcurrent protection with a 10 kA interrupting capacity and is HACR rated, making it suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration circuits. Box lug terminals accept one conductor in the range of 8 AWG to 2 AWG, compatible with both copper and aluminum wire. Licensed electricians install this breaker during new construction, panel upgrades, or circuit replacement work.

The hom250 is designed for residential electrical distribution panels. Its plug-in mounting method speeds installation in Homeline load centers. The 50-amp, two-pole configuration suits high-load branch circuits such as electric ranges, dryers, HVAC equipment, water heaters, and subpanel feeds commonly found in residential and light commercial applications.
