Different breaker manufacturers

Brands aren’t really the deciding factor. What’s important is TYPE, which is always written on the breaker. For instance, this panel takes TYPE QP. Since Siemens bought ITE you’ll notice both brands say TYPE QP in this panel.

That Square D is TYPE HOM. HOM didn’t exist when ITE was making panels. So there’s no way it was ever on the label. If you prioritize your report, on a scale of 1 to 10, this is about a two. IMHO.

When an electrician gets a classified breaker he’s also supposed to get a little paper. He’s supposed to glue the little paper to the panel as an addendum to the label. The added label has the panel listed and the breaker listed. All the classified breakers I’ve used had the word “classified” on them, but without that added label there’s no way to know it belongs there.

Is this what you mean to be classified…I thought it was a brand name
