Help with circuit breaker type / supplier

Jun 21, 2008 2 Replies

What's the name of the small industrial type breaker which clips to the conductor at one end and to a support rail at the other end with a sort of "terry clip" connection. Not on a DIN rail. This is for a 100 amp three phase board with single and three phase take-off, I'm looking for a 30 or 32 A single phase breaker (to replace an overheating one on a circuit which isn't over-rated). Can anyone suggest good online suppliers?



thanks in advance


Square D use a "terry clip" connection I believe Quikline is the name of the Square D CU.

Sounds like Federal Electric to me. They are designed for insertion/removal from the board with the board live, although I don't think they mention that anymore for H&S reasons.

Note they changed the front of the breakers ~10 years ago and they need a larger opening in the front panel. I took the front panel off and cut a larger slot with a metal cutting jigsaw when I needed to fit some new ones to an old board.
