Square D Homeline Dual Function 20A Circuit Breaker

Description

Product Overview

The Square D Homeline 20A Dual Function Circuit Breaker is engineered to provide comprehensive protection for residential electrical circuits. Combining Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (CAFI) technology with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) functionality, this one‑pole breaker detects dangerous arcing conditions and ground faults, instantly disconnecting power to prevent fires and electrocution. Housed in a compact 3.13 in × 1 in × 2.98 in metal enclosure, it meets UL and ANSI standards, offers a 10 kA breaking capacity, and is rated for 120/240 V systems. The plug‑on neutral pigtail simplifies wiring, allowing a single‑space installation in any Homeline load center.

Usage

Designed for unisex‑adult residential environments, this breaker is ideal for protecting lighting circuits, wall receptacles, kitchen appliances, and bathroom outlets where both arc‑fault and ground‑fault hazards are a concern. Installers appreciate the quick plug‑on connection, which reduces labor time and eliminates the need for separate neutral bars. Homeowners benefit from enhanced safety in bedrooms, living areas, and wet locations such as bathrooms and garages.
