Circuit breaker catalog number lookup operation

⚠ If the first 3 letters are PJP, start the search with PJ only.

⚠ If the catalog number starts with N, skip the N and begin the search with the second letter.

  1. Locate the circuit breaker feature code or part number.
  2. Use the charts to find the corresponding manufacturer circuit breaker catalog number.
  3. Use the first letter of the catalog number to determine the breaker frame (if first letter is N, use the second letter).
  4. Follow the corresponding website link to find the breaker catalog number description.
  5. Search the catalog using the first 3 letters and first 5 numbers of the breaker catalog number.
