Square D HOM120CAFIC - 20A, 1-Pole, AFCI Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker

Discover safer, smarter protection with the Square D HOM120CAFIC — a 20A, 1-Pole AFCI Arc-Fault Circuit Breaker built for reliability in demanding environments. This device delivers precise arc-fault detection alongside overcurrent protection, helping to minimize fire risk in distribution panels, switchboards, and control panels.

Key benefits that set this AFCI apart

• Arc-fault protection that detects dangerous arcing and interrupts power before problems escalate, enhancing safety in both new installations and upgrades.
• 1-Pole design tailored for single-phase circuits, making it ideal for lighting, receptacle, and small-motor branch circuits within panelboards, switchboards, and control panels.
• 20A current rating provides targeted protection for common commercial and industrial circuits without unnecessary trips.
• Seamless integration with the HOM family, delivering consistent performance across distribution panels and motor control centers.
• Versatile for industrial, commercial, and OEM applications where dependable protection and safe operation are critical.

Where this AFCI makes a difference

• Upgrade projects: Convert legacy protection to modern AFCI requirements to reduce fire risk while maintaining circuit selectivity and reliable operation.
• Panel modernization: Equip panelboards, switchboards, or control panels with dedicated arc-fault protection for critical circuits.
• OEM installations: Integrate a compact, reliable AFCI breaker into equipment enclosures and control systems where space and performance matter.
• New builds: Design safer electrical distribution from the start with AFCI-enabled branch circuits in commercial and light-industrial settings.

Practical considerations for installation and use

• Confirm compatibility with your Square D HOM-series panelboards and distribution equipment to ensure proper fit and performance.
• Match the 20A rating to circuits that are sized accordingly to minimize nuisance trips while preserving protection.
• Follow manufacturer installation instructions for secure mounting and proper electrical connections within your panel or control system.
• Use in appropriate single-pole locations where arc-fault protection adds meaningful safety without compromising circuit layout or accessibility.

With the HOM120CAFIC, you’re choosing a purpose-built solution that prioritizes safety, reliability, and compatibility in real-world electrical distribution. It’s the prudent choice for professionals who want arc-fault protection that integrates smoothly into industrial, commercial, and OEM environments—protecting people, equipment, and the continuity of operations.
