Square D - HOM120PDFC Homeline Plug-On Neutral 20 Amp Single-Pole Dual Function (CAFCI and GFCI) Circuit Breaker,

These moderately expensive new breakers that are essentially a requirement in your kitchen if you don't want to those ugly GFCI plugs messing up your kitchen decor. After installing it in your breaker box, you are free to use the inexpensive duplex outlets available in dozens of colors on all the outlets connected to this circuit. Moreover, the total cost for the circuit ends up being about the same as having an older ~$6 breakers with four or five GFCI outlets. By using this circuit breaker it provides both Combination Arc (CAFI) and Ground Fault (GFCI) protection . In water prone areas both are required by the 2017 version of the National Electrical Code. Also the plug on neutral feature allowed by the newer Homeline boxes is nice time saver when installing these. Simply screw both white and black wires into the breaker and click them in. No pigtails required like the GFCIs for pre-plug on neutral boxes.

These are easy to install in compatible electrical panels and provide protection for the entire circuit. I removed three plug-style GFCIs from inside the house by adding this to the circuit. This not only improves the look of the outlet in the home, but it consolidate’s the electrical controls in the panel. These are solid breakers a work exactly as expected. I have not experienced any nuisance tripping (which was a problem in the past with Siemens’ breakers)

To anybody wanting to use these with power tools, I have had absolutely no problem after many months of work using these to power my tools (e.g., table saw, miter saw, etc.). The 2020 NEC standard requires all basement circuits be AFCI and GFCI protected and I've used these breakers across the board for anything from refrigerators, office equipment, and power tools. I've had no nuisance trips. They work exactly as intended. I'm not sure why others are having a problem with them, but I just wanted to give a review based on my own experience.

I just updated the braker panel on our old house in rural Arkansas. I still have to run a dedicated ground, I couldn't believe that whoever did the electrical, only run two phases and a neutral. My first disconnect is bonded, so to make sure everything is like I know it has to, I went ahead and spent the whole day installing this panel along with a bunch of Quare D Plug-on neutral CAFCI-GFCI breakers. It is 100 percent better than what I had. I now have spare to grow. Highly recommended.

A little pricey. Have to have them. Since I bought these there is lower priced breakers out there sam as this one be on the lookout

I bought these for a remodel, even though my professional electrician was going to install standard breakers. I wanted these breakers because of code. I had already tested all the circuits with a pigtail GFCI and they were all working. Once these Dual Function breakers were installed, one of the circuits tripped and would not hold. Turns out that one of the wires had a short between the common and the ground that had not affected the GFCI. It is anybody's guess whether this would have caused a fire or injury in the future, but it made a believer out of me. After reading a lot about these I was concerned about nuisance tripping. I have had 11 circuits powered through these for a couple of weeks with no problem. One of the circuits has two fan/light double switches with LED indicators, which are supposed to be a problem, but these breakers have not shown a single nuisance trip on any of the circuits, including other ones with hairdryers, and loads of LED lights. Highly recommended for peace of mind. Also, these are all date stamped as manufactured within the last couple of months.

I have purchased breakers from this supplier multiple times over the past year as part of an ongoing remodeling effort. They have always arrived on schedule, and in the manufacturers original packaging.

EASY TO INSTALL AND ONE OF THE LEAST EXPENSIVE I WAS ABLE TO FIND ONLINE

NE REPOND PAS AU NORME CANADIENNE POUR LE DDFT (GFI)

Product works well, judging by how it works once a CSA certified version was installed. But the Amazon version we received has only UL (not cUL) certification; it does not have cUL or CSA certification. Our electrician refused to install, so we returned it.

Does not fit a standard square D box. I’d like to return.

Will not pass inspection as is only listed for use in USA.
