Identify these breakers

[TWX]

I'm looking to take the pool subpanel dual breaker and replace it with a single 50A breaker (repurposing one Hot to be Neutral). I want to do this instead of simply using only one leg of the dual breaker because I want to put a 20A breaker in the other slot for a new outlet for yardwork that I'm going to install elsewhere.

I think these are Square-D "QO" type, but I'm not sure, and I haven't had time to pull the panel cover off.

I ask because I don't know if other breakers look on the face like the QO style but aren't, and the stores charge a restocking fee for these kind of electrical parts unfortunately

Not that it matters, but the second breaker on the first column is the one I'm replacing.

Take one of them to the store with you.

The panel should tell you what type of breaker to use.

Label on the inside of the door will list all approved breaker part numbers for the panel.

If there still was a label I would, but it's a 32 year old panel on the west side of the property outdoors, and any label it had has long since baked off and probably fallen out.


Thanks everyone for the help, I'll go by Grainger on my way home and pick one up.

Be prepared to bend over & they don't use Vaseline. Grainger does provide good service but you pay for it.

The part I want is about $15.

I don't buy from them or Graybar unless the price is best, unless I literally need it now and can't afford to wait for a catalog order. They definitely have their uses, even if some stuff is expensive.

if you are replacing a 2 pole with a 1 pole.. dont forget to get a filler blank to cover the empty slot... part # is QOFP...

I've got a 20A QO breaker laying around that'll be for the other spot, for an outlet I'm adding for making yard work easier. So it shouldn't be. Problem. I'll possibly get one blank since there are thre QO-type panels at the property though, so if I need one for whatever reason...
