Obsolete Circuit Breakers: Replacement & Cross-Reference Sourcing
Edmundson Industrial in Houston, Texas is an independent supplier of obsolete molded-case circuit breakers from Square D, Eaton / Cutler-Hammer, GE, Westinghouse and Siemens / ITE. Send the full part number and a nameplate photo; condition, price and lead time are confirmed on the quote.
When a molded-case breaker is discontinued, you have two moves: cross-reference to the manufacturer's current frame, or drop in a surplus unit of the original to keep the panel as-built. Edmundson Industrial sources discontinued and legacy breakers across Square D, Eaton / Cutler-Hammer, GE, Westinghouse, and Siemens / ITE in new-surplus, used-tested, and reconditioned condition, disclosed before sale. When the modern replacement doesn't share the old footprint, our fabrication side builds the adapter brackets, filler plates, and bus work to make it fit.
Start here: brand cross-reference hubs
| Brand | Common obsolete frames | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Square D | FA / FAL, KA / KAL, LA, HDA / HJA, MA / MH, I-Line | Square D cross-reference |
| Eaton / Cutler-Hammer | EHD, FD, HFD, KD, GHB, Series C | Eaton cross-reference |
| GE | TED, TEY, TEC, Spectra (SE / SG) | GE cross-reference |
| Westinghouse | FB, KB, LB, Tri-Pac (now Eaton) | Westinghouse cross-reference |
| Siemens / ITE | ED, FD, BQD, Sentron | Siemens cross-reference |
The most-requested obsolete numbers are industrial molded-case frames: LA36400 (400A), KAL36250 (250A), HJA36100 (100A), FA32100: low Google volume, high buyer intent, and an active surplus market. We source by family and win on availability, not search traffic.
How does obsolete breaker sourcing work?
- Pull the catalog number off the breaker face or the panel schedule: the full string, not just the frame letters.
- Decide: surplus drop-in or retrofit. A surplus original keeps the panel as-built with no bus or lug rework. A current-frame retrofit is the long-term path; plan it at a stop.
- Send it to us. We quote condition, price, and lead time: timing confirmed with the request. If the modern breaker doesn't fit the old opening, our fabrication side makes the adapter and filler hardware so it lands in the legacy footprint.
Condition, disclosed before sale
We supply breakers as new-surplus (unused, from the secondary market), used-tested, or reconditioned to industry practice. Which one you're getting is stated up front, with photos on request.

What should I send for an obsolete breaker quote?

Can Edmundson Industrial quote an original breaker or a current replacement?
EI reviews the request for a surplus original or a cross-reference to a current frame. The full catalog number and panel details matter because a modern replacement may not share the original footprint.

What if a replacement breaker does not fit the existing panel?
