They are not. A few years ago there were grey coloured breakers used by the FPE company. Some were also mottled in colour, a mixture of black and grey that had a marbling effect.

Where are all the controls on most circuit breakers?
The only control on a circuit breaker is its on/off/reset lever or button.
Can different rating circuit breakers have the same short circuit characteristics?
Yes, different amperage rating circuit breakers can have the same short circuit characteristics.
Will multiple tripping of a circuit breaker damage the circuit breaker?
You don't specify whether you mean low-voltage circuit breakers, such as MCBs (miniature circuit breakers) or high-voltage circuit breakers. In either case, repeated tripping under fault conditions causes arcing which damages the main contacts of the circuit breakers. For this reason, high-voltage circuit breakers are taken out of service after a specified number of tripping operations, so that the contacts can be maintained or, if necessary, replaced. MCB contacts are inaccessible, and the MCB may eventually require replacing.
Will zinsco and gte circuit breakers interchange?
To my knowledge Zinsco/Sylvania breakers are the only breakers that will fit in a Zinsco panel. My recommendation as a journeyman electrician is to have your panel changed out. Those panels are old and outdated, not to mention replacement breakers are expensive. Most newer panels, and breakers are the cost of about 2 replacements.

What breakers are compatible with ge breaker boxes?
GE circuit breakers with catalog numbers ranging from THQL1115 through to THQL1150 can be substituted like for like with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers coded CL115 through to CL150, ITE Siemens circuit breakers coded Q115 through to Q150 and Square D circuit breakers coded HOM115 through to HOM150. These are single pole breakers. GE circuit breakers with catalog codes from THQL2115 through to THQL2150 can be substituted with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers CL215 through to CL250, Square D circuit breakers HOM215 through to HOM250 and ITE Siemens circuit breakers Q215 through to Q250 of the same amperage and voltage. These are double pole breakers.
Where are the circuit breakers on a 2000 chev Tahoe?
most circuit breakers are under the hood near the battery. major breakers. you have to unscrew cover.
Is gold used in circuit breakers?
Certainly not in the case of high-voltage circuit breakers. Probably not in low-voltage circuit breakers, as copper is a better conductor and has a higher melting point.
What breaker boxes are compatible with GE circuit breakers?
