Square D HOM240CP 40A Double Pole Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The Square D HOM240CP is a 40-amp, 240-volt double pole circuit breaker designed for use in Homeline load centers and panels. It provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection for 240-volt branch circuits in residential and light commercial electrical systems. The breaker interrupts power to both hot legs of a 240-volt circuit simultaneously, which is the correct protection method for double-pole loads such as electric dryers, water heaters, HVAC equipment, and subpanels. This SKU is sold as a bulk pack of 5 units, making it a practical stocking option for electricians running multiple circuits on a single job or maintaining a service van inventory.

The HOM240CP is intended for installation in Square D Homeline series load centers. Homeline panels are widely used in residential new construction and renovation work, as well as light commercial applications. The double pole format occupies two adjacent breaker slots in the panel. This bulk-packaged configuration suits electrical contractors, service technicians, and facilities maintenance crews who routinely replace or add 240-volt branch circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the panel and verify with a meter that the bus is dead before handling any breaker or wiring inside the load center. The double pole breaker must be seated fully onto both bus bars and the retaining tab must be secured before closing the panel cover. Do not attempt to install or modify breakers with the main service entrance conductors energized.
