HOM240GFI - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

HOM240GFI - 40 Amp Circuit Breaker

When a circuit requires both standard breaker protection and Class A ground-fault protection, the HOM240GFI combines these functions into a single compact, plug-in breaker. Rated at 40 amps and 120/240V AC, this two-pole circuit breaker is designed for use in compatible Homeline load centers. The terminals accept specified copper or aluminum conductors, giving electricians flexibility when working with an existing installation. Whether you're replacing an existing HOM240GFI or selecting a breaker for a compatible circuit, its clearly defined 40A, two-pole configuration makes it easier to match the breaker to the application.

Key Features and Benefits

• 40A, 2-pole design – Built for compatible circuits requiring a 40-amp, two-pole breaker.
• Class A GFCI protection – Designed to trip when ground-fault current reaches 6 mA or more.
• Three types of circuit protection – Provides ground-fault, overload, and short-circuit protection in a single device.
• 120/240V AC operation – Rated for compatible 120/240-volt AC electrical systems.
• Plug-in mounting – Designed for straightforward installation in compatible Homeline load centers.
• Pigtail neutral connection – Provides the neutral connection required by the breaker's GFCI design.
• Flexible conductor options – Screw-clamp terminals accommodate specified copper and aluminum wire sizes.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HOM240GFI is UL Listed and HACR rated. Its screw-clamp terminals accommodate both copper and aluminum conductors within the manufacturer's specified wire ranges: 14 AWG through 6 AWG for copper and 12 AWG through 4 AWG for aluminum. The specified terminal tightening torque is 4.6 N·m.

No additional material-compliance certifications were provided in the supplied product information, so additional environmental or material-compliance claims have not been added.

Where It Works Best

The HOM240GFI is a practical fit for compatible Homeline load centers where a 40A, two-pole circuit requires Class A ground-fault protection along with conventional overload and short-circuit protection. It also makes sense for replacement applications when the existing breaker carries the HOM240GFI catalog number and the electrical requirements remain unchanged.
