I've seen some of those in my green days. It could be a De-Ion circuit breaker. See the lower breaker type codes JA, KA, LA and MA. Definitely a Westinghouse make.View attachment 2571974
snipped from one the labels above the breakers. I can't read it very well, but definitely some type of Westinghouse breaker. Hopefully Eaton still makes something compatible with this
Not likely. Back in the pre 80's, most manufacturers included very limited information on the breaker. You might get lucky and find a paper part number label on the end near the lugs or on the side of the breaker.Take off the cover with the engraved label all of the breaker info is behind that plate.
The 2nd label from the left appears to say 'Westinghouse," plus it has the Westinghouse little round logos on both ends.View attachment 2571974

I did say most, I did not say all.
I was just saying to the OP you might get lucky and find the breaker info behind the trim plate. Worth a look.I did say most, I did not say all.
When was this specific breaker produced? I know that labeling requirements changed around the mid 80's.
That sure looks just like breaker number 6.
Just an observation, I would have to severely question the veracity of any coordination study on these breakers. The trip accuracy was way less back in those days to begin with and then you are adding 40 plus years of grease hardening spring wear etc. As an electrician I would say, "Not my issue, the EE told us to do it." I would not recommend an EE stamp it though.Hi all. I'm doing a coordination study in SKM for an elevator renovation project. The elevator panel is fed from this breaker (position six, middle right). I just have these pictures. Any idea what make/model of breaker this is? How would you model this in SKM? TIA

Back in the day, we would have everything that we see as doubtful tested. I you have a high current test set, you can sleep well at night knowing your install will do as required. Though not everyone is fortunate to have/ avail of these test sets.Just an observation, I would have to severely question the veracity of any coordination study on these breakers.

Good point. I'll keep this mind, thank you.Just an observation, I would have to severely question the veracity of any coordination study on these breakers.

Glad that we were able to help.Thanks all. This has been really helpful. We did end up taking off the trim plate:
