Westinghouse panel says use only Westinghouse or Bryant

[Stevenfyeager]

I usually use Eaton BR for Westinghouse panels usually but this panel states use only Westinghouse or Bryant only.

That circuit breaker and panel line was once made under "Bryant" name.

Then was taken over at some point by "Westinghouse" That is reason both names appear on it.

Westinghouse was taken over by Eaton. Current Eaton breakers from that product line are listed to be used in Westinghouse and Bryant panels of the same product line.

What matters is breaker type; BR is appropriate.

Agreed, Bryant was owned by Westinghouse since the early part of the last century, used on loadcenters, & wiring devices, they chose to drop the Bryant brand on the loadcenters, & sold off the wiring devices to Hubbell, prior to Eaton's purchase. It gets sticky when products are rebranded, like Bryant/Westinghouse, Cutler-Hammer, ITE, Furnas, Murray, & so on.
