All of CH breakers are readily available. They have 2 types, one is
there residential/light commercial (They look like a Siemens,GE,Square
D Homeline breaker) and then the commercial/industrial division (They
have a reddish beige handle and look like a Square D QO series breaker
on the bottom).

I needed to run a new line into an old Cutler Hammer breaker box.
Neither the CH residential not the commercial breaker would fit. Went
to an electrical supply house with the proper breaker in hand. They
were unable to match it. The required breaker was manufacturer
discontinued. They told me I had three options:

1. See if I could find one at a building material salvage outlet
2. Replace the breaker panel
3. ....

I ended up modifying a panel slot to take a new type breaker.
