The CHOM120CAFI is a Schneider 1P 20A 120/240V arc fault breaker, designed for enhanced safety in residential applications. With a 10kA interrupting capacity, it effectively protects against electrical faults. Its push-in design simplifies installation, making it an ideal choice for reliable circuit protection in your home.
The CHOM120CAFI is designed for Schneider Electric Homeline loadcentres that accept CHOM-series plug-in breakers. Because panel acceptance varies by model and production year, we recommend sending us your panel model number so we can confirm compatibility before you order.
Yes — the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) requires AFCI protection on branch circuits supplying receptacles in bedrooms and certain other living areas of residential dwellings. The CHOM120CAFI satisfies this requirement for 15A and 20A, 120V branch circuits where a 1-pole AFCI breaker is specified. Check with your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) for the exact rooms and circuits required in your project.
In most cases, yes — the CHOM120CAFI is a direct plug-in replacement for a standard 1-pole 20A CHOM-series breaker in a compatible Homeline panel, while adding the required AFCI functionality. Note that an AFCI breaker requires connection of the neutral wire to the breaker's neutral pigtail; ensure your wiring is set up accordingly and confirm the swap with a licensed electrician if in doubt.
