Default Re: Square D breaker in a General Electric panel

I always call it out. When you open the panel there is typically a legend in there stating exactly what breakers can be used. This box is tested and given a blessing from the UL (Underwriters Labratory) and it is intended to be used as tested. Mix matching breakers is not allowed according to the sticker within the panel itself.
