CHOM115CAFI – SCHNEIDER 1P15A 120/240V ARC FAULT PUSH IN 10kA BREAKER

The CHOM115CAFI is designed for Schneider Electric and Square D Homeline loadcentres and panelboards that accept the CHOM plug-in breaker format. It is not interchangeable with QO-series or other Square D panel families. If you're unsure of your panel series, share the model number with our team and we'll confirm compatibility.

Yes. The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 26 requires AFCI protection on specific branch circuits in residential occupancies — including bedroom circuits and, in more recent code editions, additional living areas. The CHOM115CAFI's combination AFCI function helps meet these requirements. Always verify the applicable edition of the CEC adopted in your province with your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

In most cases, yes — the CHOM115CAFI installs in the same panel slot as a standard CHOM 1-pole breaker. However, as an AFCI breaker it requires an additional pigtail neutral connection to the panel's neutral bar. Ensure a neutral lug position is available and that your wiring is in good condition, as arc fault breakers are sensitive to pre-existing wiring defects.
