Wiring a PM25

[WobblyHand]

The "help" at HD weren't enlightening. I was trying to figure out which kind of breaker I needed. There wasn't a single qualified staff member in electrical. I think I need a 2P 20A breaker. This breaker takes up two slots. The first one is one phase, and the second is the other phase. I have a (Eaton) Cutler-Hammer panel. The panel can take BR breakers. I left that store with nothing. The staff were honest (that's refreshing) but unknowledgeable.

I'm going to wait until Monday when I can go to a real electrical supply house, ask questions and buy what I need there. I'll spare you all a rant on HD.

The single phase 20 amp breaker should look like this one.

The Eaton Cutler-Hammer 20 Amp 1 in. Single-Pole Type BR Replacement Circuit Breaker is designed to protect house wires from overheating or causing a short-circuit. Single pole breaker applications include

Take a picture of what you have, electrical supply house should be more helpful. At least the first two times

Yeah, you really have to know what you need/want when you go to HD- and often times they don't have it anyhow!
Lately I've taken a liking to Lowes, but I don't ask for help there either- except for directions.
