Square D QO here as well. Very satisfied. Just put some additional 20 amp breakers into my HT and my office (for the power sucking laser printer). Very pleased.



What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

Square D + 20A breakers + 12-2 wg = no worries.

Skip playing with anything less than 12 gage wire.

No

Here's a 32 circuit value pack for $139 at Home Depot

Or the 32 circuit value pack at Menards for 151.99

Silly question

Found a SquareD QO by Schneider Electric

Square D by Schneider Electric QO Plug-On Neutral 100 Amp Main Breaker 24-Space 24-Circuit Indoor Load Center with Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K..._api_i_WYZfDbZ9Z5ZWH

Is this a true SquareD box or is it made by some other company to fit SquareD breakers?

Home Depot and Lowe’s shipping are saying they will take up to 7 days. Amazon will be there Monday.

The way I read the ad, it is a SquareD box. My box looks identical, same latch profile even. But SIEMENS is embossed on the grey plastic slide latch. A case of a few companies stamping out the metal, branded by the entire industry as their own?

Like when I bought my tent in the early 1990s. There were only two major manufacturers in the world, both in China.

My circuit breaker box is hinge left. Special order, no doubt.

Yep. The By Schneider is only indicating parent company.

Never seen the 32 space 100's before, that's interesting, also seems like an invitation for the uneducated to overload an electrical service.

Nope.

Any issue with the box only from Amazon

And grabbing QO breakers at Lowe’s?
I am under time crunch. Lowe’s has plenty of breakers in stock but no QO boxes. Amazon can have the box there Monday Lowe’s says maybe in 7 days.

No Problem getting either place. They are identical products, the only difference is one is the value pack. On Schneider's site it brings the price up from $829 to $1,050.
