Homeline panels

[Dennis Alwon]

Sq. D Homeline makes a panel where the afci and gfci connect to the neutral bar. Does anyone know if a standard afci/gfci breaker (with the pigtail) can fit in this panel and is it compliant? @jim dungar

I know the QO will, office bought a panel that accepts the snap on neutral, but sent pigtail afci’s. I would assume Homeline would be the same.

Yes to both questions, and you're not required to use the neutral terminal on plug-on-neutral standard breakers.

I agree that both plug on neutral and pigtail neutral breakers can be used.
I'm confused about your comment in bold. There is no plug on neutral standard breaker.

There is also a neutral bar/bus with screw slots along with the plug-on portion. So you can use the breakers w/pigtail, just connect the pigtail like normal on the older panels.

Great, I have never used those panels in any brand so I was just curious.

It sucks now when I get in a hurry and run into Lowe’s or the depot and grab my Afci or gfci breakers. When I get to the job it’s the new plug on neural breakers instead of the pigtail.

 

[Rdcowart]

I agree you should be able to use the pigtails in the new panel.

Good luck trying to find the one you actually need

It just so happens that I have not used any PON panels and breakers (yet).

It’s a much cleaner look, especially if you have a lot of afci’s. All of those pigtails take up a lot of space. Just not a fan of how it clips in, but since mwbc’s are going extinct, shouldn’t be anymore a problem than the line stab.
