Homeline 20 a/40 a/40 a/20 a Quad Breaker CHOMT2020240 - 40 A, 240 V Plug-In Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Homeline CHOMT2020240 Quad Breaker — a compact, four-pole plug-in solution that seamlessly protects multiple branch circuits within your panelboard or load center. Engineered for reliability, this unit combines two 20A poles and two 40A poles (20A/40A/40A/20A) in a single, easy-to-install module, all at 240V. It’s the practical choice when you need targeted protection for mixed-load applications without sacrificing panel space.

Why this quad breaker stands out

• Mixed-ampacity design in one unit — two 20A poles and two 40A poles provide tailored protection for circuits with different load profiles, while sharing a single plug-in footprint.
• Fast plug-in installation — built for quick, secure connections that reduce install time and downtime during replacements or panel upgrades.
• Thermal-magnetic protection — a responsive trip unit ensures stable performance across varying loads, helping to prevent nuisance trips and safeguard wiring.
• OEM-compatible reliability — designed to work with matching Homeline panelboards and load centers, maintaining consistent protection standards across the system.
• Versatile for a range of settings — ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where space efficiency and dependable shutoff are critical.

Practical use cases

• Protect multiple circuits in a single panelboard where two circuits require 20A and two require 40A, without adding extra space.
• Upgrade or replace aging breakers in residential subpanels, ensuring consistent trip characteristics and faster service restoration.
• Configure in light commercial installations where mixed-load circuits (lighting, receptacles, and higher-draw equipment) need coordinated protection.

What problems it solves

• Space optimization in panelboards by consolidating four poles into one plug-in unit.
• Minimized downtime through quick, secure plug-in connections that simplify installation and servicing.
• Reliable, repeatable protection with a thermal-magnetic trip that adapts to load changes while preventing nuisance trips.

Tips for best results

• Ensure your panelboard is compatible with Homeline plug-in quad breakers to maintain coating and contact integrity.
• Verify circuit layouts align with the 20A/40A/40A/20A pole configuration to maximize protection without overloading any single branch.
• When replacing an older unit, compare trip characteristics and mounting compatibility to avoid mismatches that could affect performance.
