These were Heinemann CF breakers, and 100A was a standard size, although
only 60A was used in the PVGFP. The ones with studs were CDs.
Back in the day the dealer source was Rainshadow Solar of (I think)
Orcas Island, Washington. I don't have a source for them now.

Those part numbers indicate an item from between 2003 and 2008 from
AEE. I don't remember what they are though, and do not see those items
codes in any old AEE catalogs. Besides Schneider, Magnum also sold
similar breakers in 70A and 100A I think. You could probably source
them from a breaker distributor but at much higher cost.

Hello, Mechanics~
I sold this early GFI for PV arrays to a homeowner decades ago.
Page 2-5 of the attachment mentions a custom enclosure from AEE
Solar; AEE part number 53.0090 and breaker mounting plate 53-0094.
I'm sure that's probably what I bought for mounting the GFP
assembly. The breaker plate is pre punched to fit the mounting
tabs on back of these CF style breakers. This may also be known as
an E-series breaker.
I suspect this box was a joint project involving Dave Katz & Robin
Gudgel. Now I need to add a suitable single pole DC breaker but
all I have found so far are those with terminal studs that poke
out out the back of the breaker. Two different eBay vendors had a
photo that looked right but the product they shipped had the
studs. I'm sure the breaker is non-custom but I haven't found an
easy source for quantity one.
I think the breaker body is 1" wide. Ideal specs would be 100 amp
rated, and any voltage rating above 50. 80 amp rating would
probably also work. It's for a 24v battery off grid setup. If
anyone has a part they could sell to me, please reply off-list
with a description of the age & condition, & requested prepayment
including slow boat shipping to the SLC region, Utah.
OR: if anyone could suggest a vendor who's likely to have this,
all suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks in advance; the Wrench
List is the Bomb~
