HOM250GFI - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

HOM250GFI - 50 Amp Circuit Breaker

The HOM250GFI 50A 2-pole GFCI circuit breaker combines standard overload and short-circuit protection with Class A ground-fault protection in a convenient plug-in design. Its Class A ground-fault circuit interrupter function is designed to trip when ground-fault current reaches 6 milliamps or more, adding an important layer of protection where GFCI protection is required. If you're replacing an existing HOM250GFI or matching a breaker to a new installation, its 50A capacity, 120/240V AC operation, two-pole configuration, and Class A GFCI protection make it easy to identify the electrical characteristics you need.

Key Features and Benefits

• 50A, 2-pole configuration – Rated for 50-amp applications requiring two-pole circuit protection.
• Class A GFCI protection – Provides ground-fault protection designed to trip at a fault current to ground of 6 mA or more.
• Overload and short-circuit protection – Combines standard circuit-breaker functionality with ground-fault protection in a single device.
• 120/240V AC rating – Designed for compatible 120/240-volt AC electrical systems.
• Plug-in mounting – Engineered for straightforward installation in compatible Homeline load centers.
• Pigtail neutral connection – Incorporates the neutral connection required by this GFCI breaker design.
• Copper and aluminum conductor compatibility – Supports specified conductor ranges in either material.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HOM250GFI ground-fault circuit breaker is UL Listed and HACR rated, giving installers clearly documented certification and application information. Its screw-clamp terminal arrangement accommodates one copper conductor from 14 AWG through 6 AWG or one aluminum conductor from 12 AWG through 4 AWG, according to the stated specifications. A tightening torque of 4.6 N·m is specified for the applicable conductor ranges.

Where It Works Best

The HOM250GFI 50 amp GFCI breaker works best in compatible Homeline load centers where a 50A, two-pole, 120/240V AC breaker with Class A ground-fault protection is specified. Because it combines overload, short-circuit, and ground-fault protection, it is especially useful for electrical applications where the applicable installation requirements call for GFCI protection.
