HOM115PCAFI - 15 Amp Arc Fault Circuit Breaker

HOM115PCAFI - 15 Amp Arc Fault Circuit Breaker

The Square D HOM115PCAFI is a 15-amp, single-pole combination AFCI circuit breaker designed for compatible Homeline™ load centers. It combines thermal magnetic overcurrent protection with Combination Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (CAFI) technology, helping you detect dangerous arc faults that can develop from damaged wiring, loose connections, or aging electrical components. Rated for 120VAC with a 10kA interrupting capacity, this plug-in breaker is commonly used on residential branch circuits where AFCI protection is required. Its compact, one-inch-wide design installs without taking up extra panel space, making it a practical replacement or addition when your servicing an existing electrical system or completing new installations.
