Lg hom240 Circuit Breaker 120/240V 40A 2 Pole Plug-in

Product Description

The LG hom240 is a 2-pole, 40-amp miniature circuit breaker rated for 120/240 volts AC, designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection in residential electrical distribution systems. With a short-circuit current rating of 10,000 amperes interrupting rating (AIR) and HACR-rated performance, this plug-in breaker meets the demands of branch-circuit protection for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration loads. It is UL listed and installs into compatible load centers and CSED devices. Licensed electricians and qualified electrical contractors are the primary installers of this device.

The hom240 is suited for residential electrical panels where a standard 2-pole, 40-amp plug-in breaker is required. It accommodates aluminum or copper conductors ranging from AWG 8 through AWG 2, making it appropriate for branch circuits serving larger appliances such as electric dryers, ranges, water heaters, and HVAC equipment. The box-lug electrical connection supports a secure, code-compliant termination. It occupies 2 spaces in the load center.

• UL listed; rated for operation up to 104 degrees F ambient air temperature

Compatibility

Compatible with Homeline load centers and CSED devices that accept standard plug-in 2-pole miniature circuit breakers.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the panel and verify with a meter that power is off before handling any wiring or seating the breaker. Ensure conductor size and type match the box-lug ratings before terminating. Do not exceed the breaker's rated ampacity or ambient temperature limit during operation.
