I'm trying to locate an ITE bolt-on breaker.
In the picture the left breaker is what I need, it's a "Type EQ-B".
The one on the right is a more common Siemens breaker that seems readily available.
Any suggestions for a supplier of the left breaker, Type EQ-B?
Thanks

Contact a Siemens distributor, the BL (low tab) breaker replaced the BQ frame breaker in panelboards, but do believe they are still a production breaker.

Siemens site is not easy to navigate but the BQ frame breakers are listed.
 
Looking into a 1982 Speedfax catalog, it looks like ITE used EQ to designate their 240V max breaker line, which they called 'normal duty'. They used ET for their 'heavy-duty' 600V products. Then you had the specific breaker type like BQ, E4, QP etc.

BQ was their long standing bolt-on breaker, Siemens replaced it in panelboards with the BL, QP, plug-in, E2, 240V, E4, 480V, E6, 600V.
