Circuit breakers
Just got the bracket with two circuit breakers from Ron and both are identical. Looked over both of them and can't find the Amp ratings on them. Aren't they supposed to be different?

Re: Circuit breakers
I believe early mb/gpw were 5/15 amps and then changed to 15/15 amps. Not sure of the change over date but the 15/15 should work fine since your wiring is rated for greater than 15 amps.

Re: Circuit breakers
Where are the markings on the reproduction circuit breakers to determine what they are rated for?

Re: Circuit breakers
Usually on the side of the circuit breaker tab that holds the breaker on the bracket.
You have to remove the breaker from the bracket to find it.
Some are on the breaker can side.
