CHOM120PCAFI – SCHNEIDER 1P20A 120/240V ARC FAULT PUSH IN 10kA BREAKER

The CHOM120PCAFI is designed for Schneider Electric Homeline loadcentres and panelboards that accept CHOM-series plug-in breakers. Because compatibility depends on your specific panel model and vintage, we recommend sending us your panel model number so our team can confirm the fit before you order.

Yes — the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 26 requires AFCI protection on 15A and 20A branch circuits in specified rooms of dwelling units, including bedrooms and, in more recent code editions, living areas and other rooms. The CHOM120PCAFI satisfies this requirement for 20A, 120V circuits in those locations. Always verify the applicable edition of the CEC adopted in your province with your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

In most cases, yes — provided the panel accepts CHOM-series plug-in breakers, the CHOM120PCAFI can replace a standard 1P 20A Homeline breaker and add the required arc-fault protection at the same time. The AFCI breaker does require a neutral pigtail connection to the panel's neutral bar in addition to the standard load and panel connections, so confirm your panel has a spare neutral terminal available. Contact us with your panel details and we'll help verify compatibility.
