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 specifically for plug-in installation in Homeline load centers, this 2-pole breaker is rated at 25 amps at 120/240 V AC and offers 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-conductor 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 minimizing installation downtime.
