The most important part of the breaker is the bottom where the breaker makes contact with the distribution panel bus. Some breakers have a notch by the contact that permits the machined distribution panel contact to seat fully into the breaker. This is on a Homeline Square-D breaker.

Square D has two different types of connections. One has "claws" that extend out and make contact with the poles, the other type has a "slit" where the breaker slides into a knife connection. I am disappointed in this video as it would have been very easy for you to turn these breakers around to allow your viewers to see the type of connection.

How about showing the bottom as well, and how to tell via what is written on the box, so i have a window on my breakers in a house built in the 50's with an unknown vintage box, i guess its a qo and those havent changed?

Is there a difference between the main breakers ?

I need a 20 amp GFCI breaker for a home line load center 6121 100RB 6 breaker Can you tell me the part number and where I can purchase one. The one I purchased at Home Depot does not fit. Not a QO box

If I'm looking at a Square D 120 volt breaker, how to I determine if it will fit in a QO panel box or a Homeline panel box?

[kenblack]

Is there an email where I can send you a picture of an old load center box where you can tell me which kind of breaker it uses because it is different from any Square D we can find in any store?

What i don't understand, that this kid of CB don't have a tripping curve!

[brycenesbitt]

Not insightful, a very dry list of the least important differences.
