HOM220GFI - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

HOM220GFI - 20 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need 20-amp circuit protection with built-in ground-fault protection, the HOM220GFI puts both functions into one compact breaker. This 2-pole GFCI circuit breaker is compatible with Homeline load centers and is rated for 120/240 VAC service with a 10 kA short-circuit current rating.

Key Features and Benefits

• 20A, 2-pole design for compatible 120/240 VAC circuits.
• Class A GFCI protection trips at a ground-fault current of 6 mA or greater.
• Protects against overloads, short circuits, and ground faults.
• Plug-in mounting makes it a natural fit for compatible Homeline load centers.
• Uses two spaces in the load center.
• Pigtail neutral connection is incorporated into the GFCI design.
• Screw-clamp terminals accommodate specified copper or aluminum conductors.
• HACR rated for applications where this rating is required.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HOM220GFI is UL Listed and HACR rated. Its screw-clamp terminals are designed for the specified ranges of copper and aluminum conductors, including 14–6 AWG copper and 12–4 AWG aluminum.

As a Class A GFCI breaker, it is designed to trip when ground-fault current reaches 6 mA or more. That ground-fault protection works alongside the breaker's overload and short-circuit protection.

Where It Works Best

The HOM220GFI is a good fit when an installation specifically requires a 20A, 2-pole, 120/240V Class A GFCI breaker for a compatible Homeline load center. Because it combines conventional circuit protection with ground-fault protection, it can eliminate the need to treat those requirements as separate considerations when the electrical design calls for this type of breaker.

Replacing an existing breaker? Check more than the amp rating. Confirm the HOM220GFI catalog number, load-center compatibility, two-pole configuration, 120/240 VAC rating, 10 kA short-circuit rating, conductor requirements, and required GFCI protection before installation.
