Square D HOMT2020CP 20A Tandem Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The Square D HOMT2020CP is a single-pole tandem circuit breaker rated at 20 amps and 120/240 volts, designed for use in Square D Homeline load centers. Tandem breakers occupy half the panel space of a standard breaker — one slot accommodates two independent 20-amp circuits. This makes the HOMT2020CP a practical solution when a Homeline panel is fully occupied and additional circuit capacity is needed without a panel upgrade. Licensed electricians install this breaker in residential and light-commercial applications where space constraints require circuit expansion within an existing enclosure.

The HOMT2020CP is suited for residential Homeline load centers where tandem breakers are permitted by the panel's directory or labeling. Common applications include adding branch circuits for kitchen appliances, bathroom outlets, lighting circuits, or general-purpose receptacles in homes where the existing panel has no open full-size slots. This breaker ships in bulk packaging with a package quantity of 10 units, making it appropriate for contractors stocking multiple units for service calls or new construction.

Key Features

• Tandem design fits two independent 20-amp circuits in a single half-space slot
• Rated 20 amps per pole at 120/240 volts for standard branch circuit protection
• Single-pole configuration on each circuit for 120-volt branch circuits
• Designed for Square D Homeline load centers that accept tandem breakers
• Bulk packaged — 10 units per package, suited for contractor use

Compatibility

Designed for use in Square D Homeline load centers that are listed to accept tandem circuit breakers. Always verify the load center's breaker directory or interior label to confirm tandem breaker 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. De-energize the panel and verify the main breaker is off before handling any breaker or bus bar. Confirm the target panel slot is rated to accept a tandem breaker — not all slots in a Homeline panel support tandem devices. Standard electrician's hand tools are sufficient for installation; no special tooling is required.
