Default A couple more electrical questions...

Sorry, I meant Sylvania. I believe it's considered a code violation in that
the NEC states that you have to follow manufacturers instructions and no
manufacturer is going to say to use another's products

Toller, if you're keeping notes, you gotta know more than the rest of us.
I'm pretty sure Murray will fit. The problem is over the years, these
competing manufacturers keep making small changes to try to prevent other
manufacturer's stuff from fitting, to the point that they're own stuff
won't fit in all of their panels. The Murray would be your best bet if you
can't find Siemens

and then I will be done for a while, really!

I have a Sylvania breaker box, and need to put a common trip quad breaker
in for a new circuit because I am out of room. Two years ago I put in a
Siemens quad, so I know they fit and work; but now can't find one. I
need a C23030CT2. Lowes carries Murray, and while they don't have the
one I need, they have a quad that looks to be identical to the Siemens.
Are they the same? The Murray I need is a MP230230CT2, and seem to be
readily available.

(I am tempted to pull out three circuits going to my workshop and put a
subpanel in, rather than putting in the fourth circuit. I sure wish I
had done it that way originally.)

I intend on running 10/2AC or 10/2MC. The AC is $0.60/ft, and the MC is
$1.10/ft. What about the MC is worth nearly twice the price? I don't
want to waste $50, but I "save" $50 by buying a product that will be much
inferior.
That's all, thanks.
