Well...here is my response to the Square D flyer posted by Joe T. I hear Square D making alot of misleading statements in that flyer....Obviously they did not read the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act or understand that UL Classified breakers by Eaton will not void any warranty in the Square D Panel.....in fact the warranty of the UL Classified breakers are 15 years by themselves.
Original Panelboard Warranty
Original panelboard manufacturers may claim that the
use of breakers, other than those specified, voids their
warranty. However, the Magnusson-Moss Warranty
Act prevents manufacturers from making warranties
contingent upon the use of their replacement parts, as
long as the third-party part is safe. Since the safety has
been proven by UL, the panelboard manufacturer?s
warranty is still effective when you choose a CL or CHQ
breaker.
The Cutler-Hammer business warrants its CL and CHQ
Direct Replacement Circuit Breakers to be free from
failures due to defects in material or workmanship for
15 years from the date of purchase. Additionally, should
a failure of a CL or CHQ breaker occur that would cause
damage to the loadcenter in which it is installed, the
Cutler-Hammer business would repair or replace the
loadcenter with an equivalent product upon delivery of
the damaged components.
FYI...I have a replacement chart if anyone wants it.
