What brand replacement breaker to I need for Old Westinghouse: AFCI? Read more: http

[tpcolson]

I have an old (late 80's vintage) 200 amp panel, Westinghouse B40-40 BFN, BSN.

I understand WH was bought by Cutler Hammer. The panel is currently populated with Bryant Type BR120 Single Poles.

I'm looking for what type/brand/model 20A breaker to put in this box that will provide AFCI protection. I've thought about just getting every one HD carries and see what one fits. On that note, local electric supply has no clue what breaker to put in there...this is a pretty rural area and they don't do a lot of business....

The BR series Cutler Hammer is the proper breaker
