Default Best and Worst brands of Circuit Breakers
In article ,
says...



Cuttler Hammer (Challenger) makes retro fit kits listed for a number
of existing enclosures.
The breaker with the worst reputation is the FPE stab locks. I know
CPSC was all over them but I am not sure U/L ever tried to pull the
listing. The same situation exists with the Ideal 65 wire nut.

Had to look up the Ideal 65 wire nut. See why it should not be used.
That aluminum wiring for circuits in the house has burnt down many of
them.
