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.
