FOR SALE Square D breakers

[Dodge33]

Hey everybody, we have some square D breakers for a Homeline Square D electrical box.
there are several in this box including:
15 amp
20 amp
and 3-4 220 volt breakers. These are brand new, just a little dusty from sitting. 2.00 each plus actual shipping. Thanks for looking! Dodge33

Interested, I need to check which box I have. 440'

Hugh difference between Squared D Homeline breakers and Square D QO series of breakers. I believe both will interrupt the power on EITHER SHORT CIRCUIT or Time Over Current (overload) conditions BUT the QO Series have a higher Asymmetric Short Circuit rating (this is NOT the trip rating but the breakers capability of interrupting FAULT CURRENT.
IMHO, the QO is superior in all regard to the Homeline offering including the various combinations offered...single pole, double pole, single pole tandem and double pole tandem arrangements in 15, 20, 30 amp configurations. I would not even consider the Homeline offerings. Just my opinion of course.

I agree. Major quality difference between the original Square D QO breakers and panels and the newer cheaper Homeline version. No comparison really.

QO has always been the industry standard. Just look at the panels in any store, shop or other business. The bright orange flag also makes it easy to spot which breaker has tripped in a large panel full of breakers.

The Homeline version is exactly that, breakers designed to fit your average home owners panel.

I don't believe the Square D Homeline and the Square D QO series do not interchange. The stabs that connect the breakers to the buss bars and mounting rails are different. For the $$$ difference is nominal so for my installation I'll use the QO panels and breakers. And as a side bar consideration, Square D QO panels use to have, as an option, FUSED mains in lieu of the main breaker. In this instance, I used 200 amp TIME DELAY CURRANT LIMITING FUSES similar to BUSS JJN-200 AMP 250 VOLT CLASS T fuse. Because all utilities are connected together, the available short circuit asymmetrical current is very high and current limiting fuses can stop the high current flow. Just my opinion of course. BTW....I'm a registered Professional Electrical Engineer and know my subject quite well.

Bob, you are correct they are not interchangeable and sadly we do not offer fusible mains on residential products anymore. I work primarily in the 480V and above side of things so I had to lean on my resi products counterpart.

We may have taken this thread off course a little bit...I got distracted when I saw Square D being talked about among the car topics so I had to jump in.

I guess I got side tracked a little also.....I too also worked in industry with many different voltages including 208Y/120v, 480Y/277v, 480v Delta also open Delta, and high voltage at both transmission and distribution levels up to 138kV and 250 volt DC for overhead cranes and material handling equipment and megawattage high current SCR controlled DC power supplies on chlor-alkali electrolytic cells used to produce chlorine and sodium hydroxide by electrolysis of salt water. Anyway......sorry for the digression.

Ayuh, as stated above... Homeline and QO are not interchangeable... to different animals.
Homeline breakers will interchange with a few other manufactures home owners panels, but QO will not.
