    Older Quicklag B Breakers
    Help!

    I have an older Main circuit panel in my home that uses Quicklag B or Type B Circuit breakers. I thought I found them on Circuit Breakers - New, Used & Obsolete Electric Supply Products - Relectric and ordered a few, however the bolt down holes do not line up to the holes on the buss. I noticed on the Circuit breakers I ordered read "Type BL". Are they supposed to be the same?

    Where can I order the Quicklag B "Type B" bolt-on circuit breakers.

    Or should I shut down the power and replace the whole circuit panel box.

    Thanks!!

    Quick Lag Type B was made by Westinghouse, which is now also Eaton/Cutler Hammer.

    I have never seen a Westinghouse BL, however type B is compatible with Westinghouse Type BA or BAB.

    Just need to to be sure you ask for the correct AIC rating, which 10,000 AIC should be fine.

    Here is a BAB type at the website vendor you purchased from:
    BAB1020 Cutler-Hammer or Westinghouse Circuit Breakers - Relectric

    You can also look in your area for a Westingouse or Cutler Hammer distributor
