Hello guys, I have a problem, we have Cutler Hammer GFXBB130B2 circuit breaker (early they were made by westinghton) and at the moment when we requested information from Eaton about this breakers they didnt answer, do you have some information about who produces them right now? The Internet offers a lot, but we have to buy it from an authorized manufacturer. thanks in advance!

Eaton bought Westinghouse in 1994.

Yes, I know that Eaton bought Westinghouse and then started to produce circuit breaker GFXBB130B2 with Cutler Hammer brand. But right now I need to buy this circuit breaker from official distributor (not ebay or etc). Who produces this circuit breaker right now this is the question!

Did you try searching for a wholesaler on Eaton's site?

Then click on Residential Wholesale Distributors and put in the city nearest you, or New York, NY.

He is in Russia, presumably the country, not Russia, NY, NJ, OH, etc ... I could be wrong??? :confused:

Yes, he is plainly claiming to be located in Russia. I, however, have no knowledge of Eaton having a wholesaler in Russia, nor does their site have any info to that effect. So, I sent him to the only search engine readily available for Eaton-manufactured breakers of the type in questions. If he wants to locate a source in Russia, then he should contact the wholesalers here to see if they are aware of one or if they can ship to him for a reasonable cost. An, all of this because Eaton is not responsive to inquiries about their products. Big surprise.

Maybe a fat letter from an attorney seeking unspecified damages for some unspecified incident may awaken them, and at the end of the letter is an offer to settle if they provide the information being sought. ;)

Eaton has web in Russia (www.eaton.ru) but the problem is that they offer moeller circuit breakers instead of Cutler Hammer GFXBB130B2. In internet there are a lot of offers of Cutler Hammer breakers and I dont understand this situation (why eaton offers moeller instead of CH?? or maybe china is the manufacturer of this "cutler hummer"?)

Maxim: Since I don't read Russian, I will just have to take your word for what is on their site. The Chinese probably make all of the breakers in the world, or at least all of the parts for them that are then assembled into breakers in Mexico, Indonesia, and the Czech Republic . . .:D

I do read Russian, and can verify that they only have information on the Moeller residential breakers on that site.

So, I assume that an old fashion phone call to Cutler Hammer failed to help?
