Hi,
Circuit breakers for most residential applications like your load center are not specific to a manufacturer, you only have to get the same "form factor" as the box uses. Most often one end of the breaker clips into a slot on the box and the other end (the one with the metal part) slides into a rail that's electrified. You can probably use whatever breaker you see at Lowes or Home Depot.

Regards,
Carl

No. your panel is designed for full size circuit breakers. Check the label inside the panel and it will tell you what style circuit breakers are allowed.

I have a 15 amp break that tripps due to over load in the amount of outlets being used, can I replace the breaker with a larger amp breaker to solve the problem

You will solve the problem of the breaker tripping but you'll create a fire hazard as the wiring may overheat because of what you are drawing through the line. If you need a higher amp circuit breaker for the load you are creating on the line, you need to make sure the wiring can also handle the extra load. You'd be way better off by spreading the load over several different circuits or installing another line to reduce the load on the line that's tripping the breaker.

Is there a recall on the 120V double pole 15Amp breaker and if so why? When will the replacements be available. I purchased my load center at Home Depot and they told me that these breakers were recalled...

Hi. I'm a Siemens employee directly involved in helping customers with this situation. You may check the following website for information on the breakers affected. Please use the response form there if you need further assistance:

www.usa.siemens.com/pluginrecall

Also, you may check with your local distributors for assistance with replacements. They have quarantined the affected breakers and should be able to sell existing unaffected stock.

Enter your zip code and choose Residential Products or Murray depending on the branding of your circuit breaker.

I am looking to purchase additional T&B breakers. I need type TBBR2020 SWD double pole 20's and 15's. Where can I find them (I think they stopped making them about 10 yrs ago...) ??

i will double check my supplier to see if they actually stopped making them but even if they did almost all breakers will interchange with other brands like a siemens and a ge will interchange etc. any electrical supply store should be able to cross reference your model number to one that will work
