HOM225 - 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

HOM225 - 25 Amp Circuit Breaker

Protect your electrical circuits with confidence using the HOM225 from the Homeline® series — engineered to deliver dependable performance and effortless installation. Designed especially for plug-in mounting into Homeline load centers, this 2-pole breaker is rated 25 amps at 120/240 V AC and supports a 10 kA interrupting capacity (AIR), making it a highly capable choice for both residential and light commercial applications. Because it features a clamp-type terminal that accommodates copper or aluminum wire (single conductor AWG 14–8 or dual copper AWG 14–10), you gain versatile wiring flexibility right out of the box. Whether you’re upgrading an older breaker or outfitting a new panel, this breaker delivers reliable protection against overloads and short-circuits while keeping installation downtime to a minimum.
