Square D Homeline 40A GFCI 2-Pole Circuit Breaker – 120/240V, 10kA (HOM240GFIC)

Overview

The Square D Homeline 40 Amp GFCI Circuit Breaker combines robust overload protection with reliable ground fault interruption for residential panels. Its plug-on neutral design helps streamline installation in Homeline load centers and CSEDs, occupying two spaces for a compact, two-pole solution that fits neatly into standard panels.

Designed for 120/240V AC circuits, this breaker is well suited for appliances and devices that require higher power levels, such as certain laundry equipment, cooking appliances, and climate control gear. The Class A ground fault protection trips when a fault current reaches 6 milliamperes, helping to reduce nuisance trips while maintaining safety protections in living spaces.

Key benefits and how they apply

• Two-pole 40A configuration supports 240V circuits for larger residential loads
