Thomas and betts breaker compatibility?

[aptman3]

Need to add some circuits to a residential Thomas and betts 100 MB panel. Anyone know what brand I can use for breakers? Thanks!

This site could possibly help, I do not know if they are tested.

Pull out a breaker and look at it! T&B just made the panel - they used other folks' breakers in them.

T&B was the Challenger line, they bought it from Eaton after Eaton bought the Westinghouse electrical division. Now does anyone know what happened to the T&B line?????

i recently made some changes in my breaker panel at home. It has a challenger breaker panel using c style breakers. The challenger product line was purchased by cutler hammer (eaton).

My research showed that the cutler hammer br series breakers are direct, approved replacements for the c series. There is a document on the eaton web site that validates the ul listing and the use in challenger and other panels.

Both lowes and home depot carry the br series. The breakers even have both br and c series part numbers printed on them, i.e. Br2100/c2100.

fwiw......
