Eaton/ Square D

[hillbilly1]

Apparently Eaton is having a hard time sourcing their own products. Took this out of a brand new food trailer. Customer just bought it, and wanted me to check it out. What a mess! Every receptacle in it was on one circuit including the water heater! ( guess which breaker that was). They did have separate circuits for the A/C, hood and lights. Should have took a picture of the rats nest in the panel. They wrapped all of the neutrals together and just taped them, then took all of the grounds to the neutral bar, no bond strap or screw. No gfi’s anywhere including next to the three sink basins.

I doubt that Eaton had anything to do with the installation...they just sold the panel and the food trailer builder put squareD breakers in it.

Last time I checked, Square D QO does not fit anything Eaton makes! Homeline, yes, QO no.

I have seen QO and CH breakers force-fit into each others' panels.

It's far more likely that it's a Square D QO panel, but they lost the cover so they jammed an Eaton cover on it. It doesn't look like it actually fits. Everything on the stickers on the front is ONLY in Spanish, not Spanish AND English, so it's likely that this food truck was built in Mexico and by someone who had no business doing this. I would be suspicious of EVERY aspect of this.

Agree , Eaton has nothing to do with this.
Un Trabajo de hackeo , way down Mexico way...

I believe you may be on to something, it is an Eaton can, the interior sticker is also Eaton, but the buss is something different. An Eaton CH would not fit due to the rail design, and the QO breakers were also in Spanish. And this trailer did come from Texas, sooooo! That explains why the wiring was so bad!

Eaton and Siemens both make UL classified breakers for QO. Although that is not the case here.

CH and QO are both 3/4" breakers, so I can see covers might work swapping parts. Bus not so easy.

The buss looked like it would work with either, but I tried a CH, and the rail wouldn’t allow the CH to clip in.
