    They write 50AMP max on the A/C lable for a reason

    This should do it.




    My Brother is digging into this after a property inspector found the burned up or corroded wiring, he didn't catch the 100AMP C/B, my Brother noticed that as he turned off the power to work on it.

    Also looks like a bit of corrosion due to some high humidity or perhaps liquid contact? Water and electricity don't mix well...

    Does Cutler Hammer / Eaton still make BR style HACR breakers?

    2 pole, 50 amp max

    2 x 50= 100.

    100 amp breaker it is!
    Every customer you take for granted today will be someone else's tomorrow.
