I am searching for an RV 30/20 amp 2 pole breaker.
(Cutler-Hammer BD3020 A3020 Types BRD, & A 120/240V Cu/Ai HACR Type 2 pole unit J-969
E7819 - T LR43556 Disj)

I see quite a few breakers with these specs.....except they are 1 pole.
I have seen breakers that are twin single pole breakers and was wondering if they are the same as a 2 pole.

Thanks, Rc

A 2 pole breaker will have a bar between the 2 breakers and the slim line breakers that you are referring to are just 2-15 or 20 amp single pole breakers. Home Depot or Lowes sells Eaton type BR breakers. Good luck and welcome to the forum
