HOMT2020230 - Quadplex 20/30 Circuit Breaker

HOMT2020230 - Quadplex 20/30 Circuit Breaker

Need to protect multiple circuits without using up more panel space than necessary? The HOMT2020230 Homeline quad tandem circuit breaker packs two 20A single-pole breakers and one 30A two-pole breaker into a unit that takes up just two compatible Homeline pole spaces. It's a practical setup when you need the right combination of circuit protection but don't have panel space to waste. The breaker is rated for 120/240V AC and has a 10 kA short-circuit current rating, while its plug-in design makes it a straightforward fit for approved Homeline load centers.

Key Features and Benefits

• Three circuit functions in two spaces: Combines two 20A single-pole breakers with one 30A two-pole breaker in a compact quad tandem configuration.
• Saves valuable panel space: Occupies only two approved Homeline pole spaces.
• 120/240V AC operation: Built for compatible 120/240V electrical systems.
• Simple plug-in mounting: Designed for installation in compatible Homeline load centers.
• Flexible conductor options: Accepts copper or aluminum wire from 14 AWG through 8 AWG.
• HACR rated: Suitable for applicable heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration circuit applications.
• UL Listed: Manufactured and certified to applicable UL requirements.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The HOMT2020230 is UL Listed and HACR rated. Its screw clamp terminals are designed to accept both copper and aluminum conductors in sizes ranging from 14 AWG to 8 AWG, with a specified tightening torque of 35.4 lbf-in (4.0 N·m).

Because this is a quad tandem breaker, panel compatibility matters. A breaker that physically appears to fit isn't automatically approved for a particular panel or breaker position. Before installation, check the load center labeling and specifications to confirm that the HOMT2020230 is permitted in the intended Homeline load center and location.

Where It Works Best

The HOMT2020230 makes the most sense when you need two 20A single-pole circuits plus a 30A two-pole circuit and want to accomplish that within two approved breaker spaces. That combination can be especially useful in compatible Homeline panels where available space is limited.

It's also a natural choice when replacing an existing HOMT2020230 circuit breaker and the electrical system still calls for the same ratings and configuration. Rather than selecting a breaker simply because the dimensions look right, match the catalog number, amperage, voltage, interrupting rating, and panel compatibility.
