Material Compliance and Certifications

The HOM240 is UL Listed and HACR rated, giving installers and equipment owners clearly documented certification and application information. The breaker uses screw-clamp box-lug connections designed to accept 8 AWG through 2 AWG copper or aluminum conductors, with a specified tightening torque of 4.6 N·m.

The supplied manufacturer specifications do not identify any additional environmental or material compliance designations for this catalog number. For that reason, no unsupported RoHS, REACH, or other material-compliance claims are made here.

Where It Works Best

The HOM240 works best in compatible Homeline load centers where the electrical system calls for a 40A, 2-pole, 120/240V AC standard circuit breaker. Its two-pole configuration makes it appropriate for compatible circuits that require simultaneous protection across both poles, while its 10 kA short-circuit current rating should be matched to the installation's requirements.
