We are very fortunate that NEMA came up with the standard 1" breaker in the early 70's. Prior to that time panel makers had type exclusive breakers so that was what you were stuck with forever. That is, unless you replaced that panel with one that can accept the NEMA 1". I have done this in several places one was my barn that had a WhoKnows panel and no spare breakers were available.

I agree - our house was built in 1961 and the breaker panel is made for Bulldog Pushmatic breakers - try finding those at Home Depot/Lowes! Even online they're hard to find for a reasonable price.

Me either! But I guess I’ve never looked. Learn something new every day.

Now where to I get a breaker 1-9?

The 15 amp will no longer reset.

Siemen circuit breakers, among others, are compatible with Eaton CBs.

Eaton's UL classified breakers are designed and tested to be both mechanically and electrically interchangeable with circuit breakers manufactured by General Electric, Thomas & Betts, ITE/Siemens, Murray, Crouse-Hinds, and Square D.

hack tipo caru (not sure about the u)

Ya, we would need the brand and possibly the breaker type such as if it's a bolt in or push in type. I assume it's 15/20 single pole?

You can Tune a Piano but You can't Tuna Fish. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I just "googled" it and found multiple listings for Home Depot and Ace Hardware. You didn't mention the brand but they are there.
