Challenger 20 Amp 1 Pole C120 Circuit Breaker Questions & Answers
Will an Eaton br 120 circuit breaker properly replace a challenger c120?
Hi - I'm an electrician and can help you with this question. It is very important to note that only those circuit breaker models listed on the electrical panel cover are permitted by electrical code to be installed in the electrical panel. Introducing any other brand or model circuit breaker voids the UL or FM listing, regardless if it fits. This is because the manufacturer sends his product to a UL and/or FM laboratory for thorough testing and certification. The product (electrical panel in this case) is tested with all the breakers the manufacturer supplies with the panel. If the panel passes the tests, the manufacturer receives the much coveted UL and/or FM listing or mark for the panel and breakers that pass and can be marketed and sold. Only those breakers that were tested and passed in that panel and are permitted to be used in the panel and can be considered a UL and/or FM listing assembly. The code allows only those electrical products bearing this mark to be installed. So, even though each manufacturer has their individual products tested in different combinations, they can not be "mixed and matched" between different manufacturers and products not tested in that particular combination. The only the tested combinations the passed are printed on the inside of the panel cover. Mix and match results in an electrical code violation (an inspector would require the correct breaker before giving an approval) and if a fire breaks out - and it is determined that the source was this circuit breaker - most insurance companies will not pay a claim. That's a lot of risk for a $10 circuit breaker.You should only install a circuit breaker that is listed for use in the panel you have. Check this link for a

Is there another breaker i
A Challenger 20 Amp single pole breaker shouldn't be priced much different than any other brand of breaker if you buy them online and not at Home Depot. That is if it isn't the Zinsco style like these:
According to Eaton's cross reference a BR 120 will cross with a C 120. You can find the cross reference here:

Lowes shows the BR 120 at 3.47
They look like these:
Fail to trip at twice the rated amperage
If a circuit breaker is overloaded and doesn't trip it is defective. Also, remember never load share different circuits on a single breaker, this can cause circuit overload. Be Careful and God Bless
What other brand will fit
You can only safely use breakers listed for your panel . It will depend on the style of the challenger breaker you are using. Go by the breaker number you currently have and it may cross over to a different brand with same part number . There are two basic Challenger styles. The Zinco/Westinghoue/Challenger Long skinny Like thi one.
and the Murry/Bryant style like this Siemens breaker
.
Main Breaker (QFP-2T) Opens intermittently (about
Usually when old breakers do that they are near being worn out and should be replaced. Unfortunately that breaker is expensive, probably about $200 if you can find one. It's possible that you may have a branch circuit that is (intermittently) faulty and the circuit breaker protecting _that_ circuit is not functioning correctly, thus causing the main to trip (as it should).
It would be safer and cheaper to replace the entire electric panel if you DIY.

Conlog Hi Ola-daniels, Please see below steps to assist with RFCON error :
* Press the Back arrow on the keypad - this step is to refresh the UIU ( the device)
* Type # 75 # - this is to check the signal strength
If it does not go back to the normal display
*Type # 80 # - this is to refresh the meter
Then lastly you can repair the meter and the UIU by # 36 #
The above steps will work better if you are outside the house because the meters uses the radio frequency connection
The above error will occur in instances of bad weather conditions or if there is load shedding or power failure
If the problem persists after trying the above you may contact the municipality or the service provider."
