A property owner I do a lot of work for has some apartments about 65 miles away. His mechanical guy went out to fix a no heat problem in one unit. He determined that it was either a loose connection in the meter center or a bad breaker ( He's pretty sharp so I trust his diagnosis. My problem is I asked him to get the name plate data and number off the breaker to save me a long trip. All he can tell me is the breaker looks like a standard thql GE but without breaking the seals he can't be sure. Does anyone here know if the mid to late 90's GE centers used standard GE breakers. Or could they be bolt ins?

For what it is worth, most of them that I have seen use plug in breakers.

Thanks. If it turns out to be a bolt in I will have to order it any way. Our local GE house does well to keep the bare minimums in stock.

GE did use C-H CHB breakers branded as GE TMQB.

Breaker is a 100 amp 2 pole. HVAC guy assures me that from what he can see of the breaker it looks like a standard GE plug in. The design of the meter center would not allow him to open it up to verify breaker type because the local power co-op won't allow him to cut seals without a permit.
