Circuit Breaker Differences?

ddawg16

Getting ready to buy more breakers for my SD load center....I bought the 'value bundle' at HD....200A with 20 spaces (40 ckts).

I'm one of 'those' who tends to use a lot of breakers....easier to isolate a ckt for troubleshooting or to work on it without having to shut down the house.

The bundle came with a tandem 20/20 breaker....

Lable shows HOMT DP-4075

An internet search shows the DP-4075 breaker averaging around $19.95 ea. But the HD web site shows a SD tandem 20/20 for $7.95....if I zoom into the pic, I see P-1914....everything else looks the same.

What is the difference? Besides price.....

I did not look your model up, but a residential standard tandem would be less than $10 in most cases.

Is the DP4075 a tandem or a double pole? With the DP prefix, I would suspect double pole. A tandem Homeline is 1 inch wide, a double pole is 2 inches wide.

4075 is a double pole not a tandem

I believe a HOMT is a tandem, but I can't find an HOMT DP 4075 listed in the SQ D catalog.

Internet searches for SqD will bring up a LOT of full retail prices. You need real world prices like the HD one you found.

Do a search for a SqD panel. A 200A panel you can get at the supply house for $150 will show full retail prices of probably $450.

The one in my hand is 1" wide....tandem....(2 little handles)

I'm just wondering why the big difference....the one I have feels more like comercial quality....I wonder if they ran short and stuck that in there....

I need to go out an look at the others....
