Re: [DIY] Push Button Ckt Bkr

 

Thanks but that is a GE brand which we also don't see very often out here.  I also did a check on Bulldog and came up with ITE which I now recall was either the original supplier or may have acquired the line.  ITE around here is not held in high esteem and I doubt the Bulldog line is still offered though I can't say that for certain.  Since leaving the major hubs of society for the quiet life I'm a little out of the everyday circuit.  I recall we used the Push-Matic or Bulldog in the Boston area in the 60's and 70's and really liked the feel of the breakers.  The screw down buss was also a good positive connection as opposed to the slam, bang and snap verity.

This might be what you were talking about.  Mine Duty Circuit Breaker.  Is that it?

CH is definitely a superior product in many respects and is used extensively in this area in commercial and manufacturing applications, however it seems Square D is more readily available to the home owner and small contractor in many areas where CH is not locally carried.  I'm trying to think of the company from years ago that built all of their boxes with screw down breakers.  Unfortunately they ran into a problem when several of their units did not trip resulting in fires and they consequently went out of business.  Another nice feature was that their breakers were push to set rather than lever trip, this too might have been the cause of their problem as well.  The name Bulldog comes to mind but I can't be sure.

Everyone is stuck on Square D. I think Cutler Hammer type CH is superior. Copper bus bars AND the breakers have a spring clip on the prongs where they attach to the bus bar fingers. Square D QO does not.
Do NOT get Cutler hammer type BR. That is an old design merely bough out by Cutler Hammer, not the original.
