Schneider Electric hom280cp 80A 2-pole Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC hom280cp is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker rated for 80 amps at 120/240 volts AC. It provides overcurrent protection for residential and light commercial electrical panels, interrupting fault currents up to 10 kA. The breaker uses a plug-in mounting style and accepts 4 to 2/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors via a box lug connection. Licensed electricians install this breaker during panel upgrades, load center replacements, or new circuit additions where a double-pole, high-amperage breaker is required. It is part of the Square D Homeline product family.

This breaker is suited for residential load centers and light commercial distribution panels where a 2-pole, 80-amp circuit is needed. Typical applications include large appliance circuits, sub-panel feeds, and HVAC disconnect protection. The plug-in design simplifies installation in compatible Homeline load centers. The box lug connection supports both aluminum and copper wiring, making it flexible for a range of service configurations.

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 load center and verify the panel is fully de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before handling any breaker or wiring. Ensure conductor sizing and aluminum wiring terminations comply with the wire range specified on the breaker label. Do not exceed the breaker's listed ampacity or interrupt rating for the intended circuit application.
