Reliable protection for residential circuits

The Square D Homeline 20 Amp GFCI circuit breaker offers dependable overload, short-circuit, and ground fault protection in a compact two-pole design. Designed for 120/240V AC circuits, it helps safeguard common living spaces while fitting neatly into Homeline panels.

Key installation and design advantages

Engineered for straightforward installation, this breaker features a plug-on neutral design that connects the breaker's internal components to the neutral bar, enabling quick power-up in Homeline load centers with two spaces. It also supports plug-on neutral load centers, giving installers flexibility during upgrades or replacements.

• Plug-on neutral design simplifies wiring and speeds up setup for two-space load centers
• Clamp terminal accepts 14 AWG to 8 AWG copper or aluminum wire, accommodating common residential wiring

Performance for larger loads

With a 20A, two-pole configuration, this breaker serves circuits that feed higher-draw appliances and systems, such as clothes dryers, ranges, furnaces, and air conditioners, on 240V branches. Its space-saving form keeps panels organized without sacrificing protection.

• Two-pole design provides robust protection for 240V branch circuits
• Rated for 120/240V AC operation, suitable for many residential appliances

Ground fault protection you can rely on

The unit combines traditional overload and short-circuit protection with Class A ground fault protection. It trips when a ground fault current reaches 6 milliamperes or more, helping to reduce shock risk in applicable environments.

• Class A GFCI protection enhances safety in appropriate spaces
• 10kA breaking capacity provides strong interrupting capability for typical residential faults

Specs you can reference

Dimensions mirror a compact footprint: 3.13" H x 2" W x 2.98" D. It is UL-listed and HACR-rated, ensuring a recognized standard of safety and reliability for home electrical systems.

In real-world settings, this Homeline GFCI breaker offers a balance of protection, ease of installation, and panel compatibility. It’s a practical option when upgrading a space to include ground fault protection for circuits that power larger appliances or are installed in areas where protection is desirable. Keep in mind that results can vary with panel configuration, wire routing, and adherence to local electrical codes.
