Cutler Hammer took over the Challenger company. Other sites list the Cutler Hammer BR breaker as the approved replacement.
No, only Sq D breakers will fit into a Sq D panel. I believe Square D makes at least two styles of breakers. Home and industrial. I have a GE entrance/distribution box that has Square D (home), Murray, Bryant, Westinghouse, and GE breakers, all working together. I hope this helps.
Breakers are build to snap onto a buss bar in a breaker panel. If they look the same on the back end then they will likely work. If not do not try to force a fit. To add a little more to this: 1st of all it depends on what kind of Square D you are talking about. Square D Homline breakers will fit in a GE panel but GE breakers will not fit into a Homeline panel in my experience. Square D QO is not compatible with either.
Yes, as long as the lug connects to the panel thye same way.
In my experience, NOTHING is compatible with a Murray panel. Others claim there are certain Siemens and Federal Pacific breakers or Eaton type "CL", but you might have to obtain permission from the inspector to use anything other than Murray.
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.
Cooper breakers
No, they will not work. Use only Murray breakers for safety.
There are many ways one can install ge circuit breakers. One can install ge circuit breakers by turning off the power supply, removing the panel cover, testing it for power, and installing it by alining the breaker with the unused panel space.
Yes, a GE AQ panel accepts twin-type breakers, which are designed to fit in a standard single-slot space while providing two circuit connections. This allows for efficient use of panel space and can accommodate more circuits within the same panel. However, it's essential to ensure that the breakers used are compatible with the specific GE AQ panel model and adhere to local electrical codes. Always consult the panel's documentation or a licensed electrician for proper installation.

Square D breakers are generally not compatible with GE panels, as each manufacturer designs their breakers to fit their specific panel configurations and electrical systems. Using a breaker that is not designed for the panel can lead to safety hazards, equipment damage, or voiding warranties. It's essential to use breakers that are specifically rated and approved for your panel type to ensure proper functionality and safety. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a qualified electrician for advice on compatibility.

Cutler - Hammer manufactures two types of residential circuit breaker for the US. Type CH and type BR. The type BR will fit into most GE panels. It is probably a bad idea to use any other circuit breaker except the type listed on the label of the circuit breaker panel. GE panels require you to use GE circuit breakers. Using any other brand may put you at risk for liability if the installation fails and causes harm or damage.
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.
