Siemens breaker in ge panel

E mail Siemans and ask them. Then, include that in your report and make your recommendation. If I remember correctly, the NEC says you can use any breaker that is rated for that specific use. Kind of like putting a Ford engine in a Chevy car. The mix of cb makers in the panel makes me very suspicious. I just did research on this one. The answer is NO! The only breakers good for a new seimens panel are seimens breakers. Directly from seimens. Of course the label should also have it as well. All new panels will be brand specific. Its the older panels that have been bought by other companies that generally take some type of retro breaker, for obvious reasons.

Found it years ago, didn't take a shot.

Common sense will tell you to replace a Bryant breaker with another Bryant breaker. What other brands can you install in a Bryant panel? The guide below will tell you. No one makes Bryant breakers anymore. The company went out of business. Siemens is a suitable replacement for Bryant.

Siemens breakers may be used in GE breaker boxes, and they are widely considered to be interchangeable with one another. When utilising Siemens breakers, make sure that the size and voltage requirements are met, since using the incorrect breaks might result in severe consequences. Only Siemens breakers are developed, produced, and listed for use in your Siemens panel, and only Siemens breakers are available for purchase. Furthermore, not all Siemens breakers will function properly in your panel. Only square d qo breakers will fit in that panel during that time period. The homeline panels will accommodate different breakers, however this should only be done in an emergency or temporary circumstance. Siemens and Murray are, in fact, the same organisation. Although the components are physically interchangeable and, to my knowledge, identical save for the label , Murray breakers are not technically approved for use with Siemens panels and, as a result, are not permitted under the NEC code.

We recommend consulting a qualified electrician to determine compatibility. Happy Holidays, Tom. Please consider creating a new thread. My guess is no. The manufacturer of the breaker being copied would have to give permission for their competitior to use their name and breaker model. I don't know if ITE has followed that or not. I've been doing this long enough to know what is going to fit just fine, and what might be a problem in the future. Location Michigan. Hi Thomas Hession. AVS Forum.
