I bought 20/15 poles but the 15 amp pole started to trip automatically after two days without any reason, I bought another breaker from Home Depot in its original packing this breaker is working fine and no trip happened again . I am sure they are selling a refurbished breaker, not a new one. I returned the other four breakers because I needed them in the original Packing

I’m sure it works how it was needed but definitely read the fine print and look at other pictures. Circuit breakers are color coordinated for a reason the first photo is of a 20/20 amp breaker not the 15/20amp they are selling this is predatory advertising in my book.

Fitted quite well into my breaker box. Diagnosed problem via youtube and saved the cost of an electrician coming out.

The breaker fit as advertised for the old panel. If I had of done a little more research, I could have gotten it cheaper.

Worked great. As someone else mentioned, the 15/20 are swapped. The new one is grey in the photographs, original is black. The local Homedepot had these as a special order item for about $20 more. This along with a YouTube video prob saved me $300+ over hiring someone.

My electrician confirmed it was the correct circuit breaker. It fit well into my existing box, and he had no problem installing it. So far, it is working fine. Let there be light (without the haunted-house flickering I had with my old circuit breaker)!

This is an OEM replacement, meant to be a replacement for the original Zinsco circuit breaker I had. I could no longer find Zinsco circuit breakers anywhere, but luckily found this Connecticut Electric unit. Functionally, it works exactly the same as the original Zinsco. I replaced and purchased a 2-switch unit that had one switch for 15 amps, the other for 20 amps. Compared to the Zinsco, the two switches were flipped. Instead of the 15 amp switch on the bottom on the Zinsco, it was on the top on the CE. I resolved this by switching the wires when reinstalling the circuit breaker. Speaking of which, the circuit breaker was very easy to replace. Just take the proper precautions and take your time. I have little electrical experience, but this was very simple, even though it was a little unnerving. A little fear is a good thing when messing around with electricity. Besides the color of the circuit breaker (CE is gray, Zinsco was black), the switches stick out a little further on the CE breaker. It may not properly clear your circuit breaker panel door if you have little clearance. I had no problems closing the door of my panel. Amazon prices were about 25% cheaper than my local big box hardware stores
