Interchangeable circuit breaker

[Steve Hathaway]

Are there any circuit breakers interchangeable with a Challenger loadcenter? I have heard Challenger/ Bryant are the same now.

Probably the most interchangeable out there....a whole host of breakers will fit....including Sq D's Homeline.....but remeber....in this UL listing world we live in.....make sure your breaker is UL listed for that panel

BR type breakers from cuttler hammer, challenger, bryant, and westinghouse are all interchangeable and listed for these panels.

Anyone have the pdf showing the interchangeability (ya' know - to appease the inspector )

Didn't your panel come with a label?

MY panel?

It's an FPE :grin:

I'd argue that Challenger, Bryant and CH BR are the same breaker : ) A good inspector isn't going to sweat this..

I probably says to use Challenger breakers.

I think that is the point of the question.

I challenge you to find them new.

Cutler Hammer Classified breaker is what you need. I keep these on the truck.

On the right side of this page is a pdf of compatibility.
