HOM2100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

HOM2100 - 100 Amp Circuit Breaker

When your electrical system calls for dependable 100-amp, 2-pole circuit protection, the HOM2100 Homeline circuit breaker provides a practical solution designed for compatible Homeline load centers. Rated for 100A at 120/240V AC, this standard miniature circuit breaker combines a space-efficient plug-in design with a 10 kA short-circuit current rating. It occupies two panel spaces and uses screw-clamp box lug terminals that accept one 4 AWG through 2/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductor, giving installers useful flexibility when matching the breaker to properly sized wiring. The HOM2100 is UL Listed and HACR rated, making it suitable for appropriately specified residential and light commercial electrical applications, including qualifying heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HOM2100 100A circuit breaker is UL Listed and HACR rated. UL listing provides recognized third-party certification to applicable safety requirements. At the same time, the HACR rating supports use in qualifying heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications when an HACR-rated overcurrent protective device is specified.

Where It Works Best

The HOM2100 100-amp 2-pole circuit breaker is best suited for installations that require 100A, 120/240V AC protection in a compatible Homeline load center. Its two-pole configuration makes it a natural choice for appropriately rated 120/240V circuits, while the plug-in mounting style helps simplify installation and replacement.

It can be especially useful in residential and light-commercial electrical systems where a 100-amp double-pole breaker with a 10 kA short-circuit current rating is specified. Its HACR rating also makes it appropriate for qualifying HVAC and refrigeration applications.
