Rated 5 out of 5 by BillP from QO 40-Amp Double-Pole Circuit Breaker These QO 40-Amp Double-Pole Circuit Breaker's are getting more difficult to find. Thanks to Lowes for keeping them in inventory. MY AC unit is now working without kicking out the circuit breaker every night. My home suffered a lightening strike some years ago and this is about the 3rd breaker I have had to replace. Apparently the strike weakened many of the breakers in addition to destroying many appliances. The insurance inspector found all problems except weakened breakers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gretz from Great product This was for my AC. It replaced my other breaker which was two separate breakers. Easy to install.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Philip from Works perfect [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had to replace the circuit breaker for the AC. Grabbed this one at my local Lowe's and popped it in. AC kicked back on and cold air is flowing. Easy to repacle on your own with little to no electrical skill, just remember to shut the power off first!

Rated 5 out of 5 by balldinger from a weiner Works well as a motor starting breaker. if you need a little more amperage so a normally rated 30 amp circuit won't trip with a motor, or welder this works.

Rated 5 out of 5 by J-BERT from They don't make 'em like they use to Perfect replacement for my D Square Box! I don't like many other Fuse Panels just because they lack Fuses that can be easily identified and faulty, with these and orange indicator "sides" into a clear view! Very CooL thingy-ma-bobber !
