Square D HOMT1515CP 15A Tandem Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The Square D HOMT1515CP is a single-pole tandem circuit breaker rated at 15 amps and 120/240 volts, designed for use in Homeline load centers where panel space is limited. Each pole occupies one-half of a standard breaker slot, allowing two circuits to share a single space. This configuration is a practical solution for adding branch circuits to a full or near-full panel without replacing the enclosure. Licensed electricians install this breaker during service upgrades, panel additions, or circuit expansions in residential applications.

The HOMT1515CP is suited for residential electrical panels where load capacity exists but physical breaker space is at a premium. It is commonly installed when adding lighting circuits, outlet circuits, or other 15-amp branch circuits to an existing Homeline panel. The tandem design enables two independent 15-amp circuits to occupy a single one-inch breaker slot, making efficient use of available panel positions. This breaker ships in a bulk package of 10 units per package, making it practical for contractors stocking multiple units for service work.

Key Features

• Tandem single-pole design fits two circuits into one breaker space
• 15-amp rating on each pole for standard branch circuit protection
• Rated for 120/240 volts to match standard residential panel voltage
• One-half space per pole maximizes available panel positions
• Bulk packaging of 10 units per package for contractor convenience

Compatibility

Designed for use with Square D Homeline load centers that accept tandem circuit breakers. Not all Homeline panels support tandem breakers in every slot; verify the panel directory or label for approved tandem positions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always shut off the main breaker and verify the bus is de-energized before installing or removing any breaker. Confirm that the target panel slot is rated and listed to accept a tandem breaker by consulting the load center door schedule. Do not install this breaker in a slot that is not approved for tandem use in the panel documentation.
