Square D HOM120CAFIC 20A Afci Breaker Single Pole Homeline

Product Description

The SQUARE D BY SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC HOM120CAFIC is a 20-amp, single-pole combination arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) breaker designed for residential electrical panel installations. It provides standard overload and short-circuit protection alongside series and parallel arc fault detection. Rated at 120/240 volts AC with a 10,000-ampere interrupting rating (A.I.R.), this breaker is built in the 1-inch format and fits Homeline brand load centers. Licensed electricians install this device to meet modern code requirements in branch circuit applications where AFCI protection is mandated.

This breaker is engineered for use in residential branch circuits where the 2008 National Electrical Code (NEC) and subsequent editions require combination-type AFCI protection. Typical applications include bedroom circuits, living areas, and other habitable spaces where arc fault hazards are a code concern. It is sold in a package quantity of 3 units, making it practical for multi-circuit installations or service upgrades. The 1-inch single-pole format keeps panel space usage efficient in standard Homeline load centers.
