SQUARE-D Homeline

[Ponchik]

Do you know if SQUARE-D HomeLine product is strictly for residential use or can be used for light single phase non-residential?

Thank you.

Loadcenters can be used anywhere. They are not as robust as panelboards, but are used frequently in three phase applications too.

I know what you meant but just to clarify, I don't believe Homeline makes a 3-phase panel.

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve seen a Homeline three phase loadcenter, but others do make them.

Confirming: Homeline is not offered in 3 phase.
You can get a QO plug-in 3 phase load center.

Some commercial / industrial insurance carriers might require bolt-in breaker panels. I once had to rip out a perfectly good 200A QO plug in Load Center because of that when someone converted a residential home / farm into a retail and family activity center (in Washington State, 25+ years ago).

I would recommend to OP to verify breaker availability if using a QO. I’ve had a lot of trouble getting QO breakers. QOB’s seem readily available except for GFCI’s.

Eaton offers BR and CH in 3-phase. I think GE does also.

I checked on QO and local distributor said the QO are a bit harder to find so I am going with HOMELILNE and it is OK with light commercial single phase use.

Another consideration is if you need to meet a higher AIC rating, the HOM breakers I've only seen available in the 10Kaic rating, so if you need more like a 22 or 65 you might consider something else like the QO model.

Eaton 3ph BR panels and breakers are available.

I believe that is true, but one could still utilize series ratings to get at least a 22kaic rating. Maybe higher, but I haven't looked at the sq D series rating charts in a while.

Also, FWIW, I do not like what sq D did with homeline. IMO their QO line is over-priced and not offering a "non-Cadillac" line in three phase is dumb.
