Bolt-on breakers have been made for Sylvania panels. But Sylvania breakers are not as common these days. Compatible devices are made by companies like Cutler-Hammer, with their BR series.
Bryant circuit breakers are now largely obsolete, and it can be difficult to find direct replacements. However, some compatible options include Eaton brand circuit breakers, as they may fit in older Bryant panels although it's recommended to consult an electrician for proper guidance and to ensure safety and compatibility.
If you don't have a Westinghouse breaker, you should use a breaker that is compatible with your electrical panel. Consult the panel's specifications or a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate replacement breaker for your specific panel. Using an incompatible breaker can be dangerous and may violate electrical codes.
No, panel breakers are designed to fit specifically in the panel they are made for. Using a breaker from one manufacturer in a different panel could lead to compatibility issues, safety hazards, and potentially void warranties. It is always best to use breakers that are compatible with the specific panel being used.
No, the Square D designed breaker can only be installed in a Square D manufactured panel.
Yes, modifying a breaker to fit in a panel is typically a code violation. Breakers are designed to specific dimensions and altering them can pose safety hazards, such as improper fit and overheating. It is recommended to always use breakers that are compatible with the panel and have been tested and approved by a recognized testing laboratory.
The panel and breaker have to be of the same manufacturer. This way the breaker will fit into the panel. If the panel has a push in bus bar, the breaker must also be the type to accept the bus bar. If the bus bars in the panel are of the bolt in type then the breaker also has to be a bolt in breaker.

Yes, the code requires a complete dead front so that no access can be made to the bare distribution bus behind the panel face.
No, the Square D designed breaker can only be installed in a Square D manufactured panel.
A General Electric (GE) breaker is generally not compatible with a Cutler-Hammer panel, as each manufacturer designs their breakers to fit only their specific panels due to differing configurations and standards. Installing a breaker that is not designed for a particular panel can pose safety risks and may violate electrical codes. Always consult the panel's documentation or a qualified electrician to ensure compatibility when replacing or installing breakers.
No, if you have a Square D distribution panel only Square D breakers will fit in it.
