Zinsco Replacement Circuit Breakers

This circuit breaker was slightly different in size from my circuit breakers in my 53 year old panel. and there, so it's installed using the old switch as a guide. It seems to work. I bought it to add an oscillator input to my panel. A double pole latching switch was required to avoid mains power supply. Works fine with my lock. Since Zinsco has been out of business for many years this was the only alternative to a used jackhammer.

Pros
  • Intertek ETL UL 489 Listed for US & Canadian Molded Case Circuit Breakers
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging

Perfect replacement

I have older ZinsCo switch boxes. I had a circuit breaker that melted a tire and I had to rebuild or replace it. EVERY electrician wanted my box "upgrade" for over $3500 I found the engineer who designed the unit and he sold conversion kits and explained that the only failure of the system occurred during installation when the installer was unable to sandpaper sanding with 4000 grit and coating the new rail with electric lube that forms a barrier between the switch and the stem to prevent…

Pros
  • 2 Pole 120/240 VAC 3/4" Switch
Cons

Don't follow the picture!

My niece's house was built with a circuit breaker manufactured by the defunct Zinsco company. In fact, there are Zinsco boxes in my house and in my relatives' house as well. This company's equipment is commonly used in homes built in our area of California in the 1950's and 60's. Recently my niece overloaded one of the circuits in her kitchen with a combination of appliances that she had apparently never used at the same time before. At first it didn't seem like much as I easily figured out how

Pros
  • Connecticut Electric Zinsco replacement circuit breaker
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
