Don noy install a lot of BR breakers, is there a CTL breaker in a thin or twin version? This is for a Millbank pedistal, need a 20/30. I didnt find twins in the cutler hammer catalog.
 
Eaton type BD are class CTL. Thiws is from Eaton:

Duplex Circuit Breaker-Tandem/duplex breakers are convenient for adding circuits to a full loadcenter and are sometimes used to reduce the physical
size of the loadcenter .

BD Breaker Class CTL (Circuit Limiting) .
They will only fit onto loadcenter bus stabs that are notched to accommodate the rejection clip built into the bus bar
contact on the breaker . This is a code requirement that limits the number of breakers that can be installed into a loadcenter .

BR Tandem
Identical to BD tandem breakers, except they do not have a rejection clip on the bus bar contact . Not Class CTL and are intended for replacement purposes on loadcenters made prior to 1968 .
