Schneider Electric CHOM250 Miniature Circuit Breaker, 50A, 2 Pole, 120/240V AC, 10kA AIR, Plug-On

Description

Features

• The Schneider CHOM250 is an authentic, CSA-certified Homeline (CHOM) circuit breaker designed specifically for the Canadian residential market. As the OEM standard for Schneider Homeline panels, it ensures a perfect mechanical "plug-on" fit and optimal electrical connectivity, eliminating the safety risks and warranty voids associated with using non-genuine or cross-brand alternatives.
• Rated at 50 Amps and 120/240V, this two-pole breaker is the heavy-duty solution for high-demand household appliances. It is the standard requirement for electric stoves, large central air conditioning units, and Level 2 Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations, providing synchronized protection across both "hot" legs of the circuit.
• The CHOM250 features a user-friendly plug-on mounting system, allowing it to snap securely onto the panel's bus bar without the need for mounting screws or specialized tools. This design ensures a high-pressure, low-resistance connection that remains stable over years of use, while the robust box-style terminals accommodate large-gauge copper or aluminum conductors (typically #8 to #2 AWG).
• This breaker utilizes a dual-stage thermal-magnetic protection system. The thermal element guards against slow, sustained overloads by reacting to heat buildup in the wires, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous protection against high-energy short circuits. This ensures the power is cut in milliseconds during a fault, protecting your home's infrastructure and your family's safety.
• Occupying two 1-inch spaces (total 2-inch width), the CHOM250 is a full-size breaker that provides superior heat dissipation compared to "tandem" or "twin" breakers. This extra surface area is critical for high-amperage 50A circuits, as it helps the breaker run cooler and prevents nuisance tripping caused by ambient heat inside a crowded electrical panel.
