Well Eaton also known as Cutler Hammer has finally come out with a breaker which can be used in multiple panels . There known as Classified Product breakers and these breakers are permitted in more than one manufacturers panel as long as there on the approved list that Eaton furnishes with these breakers. This save's considerable time and money so now you can carry a few breakers and cover many panels and not have to run to supply house or shop to get the proper breaker. Previous to this a company was turning out a Universal breaker which had a small white LED built into top of it which lighted when it tripped and they claimed could be used in any panel but this was never the case and they should not have been installed,but where in many panels.
They where put in by the thousands in 1980's till the practice was stopped and are still out there and a potential hazard, if they where not properly matched up.
Eaton has produced an excellent video available on You Tube you can view on the subject
Thank You Eaton for making such a great time saving product
