Wrong brand of breaker in panel
Hi everyone. I have been writing up any panels that have specific manufacturer labels stating "Use only ....... brand breakers type ....... " when I observe that different brands are installed. I have been getting beat up by the electricians in my county that this is not correct, and there are breakers that interchange in many different panels. County inspectors don't appear to have to deal with this since most all new construction have brand new panels with the same breakers. Is there any specific (NEC) information that I can print to back up that this may be voiding liability of the manufacturer in the event of any problem with their panel? Any info is greatly appreciated. I am new to the site and very impressed with the knowledge that all the inspectors pass on to those of us that are still absorbing alot in this industry. Thank you
