GE circuit breakers

[moonshadow]

Hi. My 2014 SO469 has a bank of 4 circuit breaker boxes. One each for shore power-house. And one for HVAC shore power. These are repeated for the generator side. Each box also has a bigger breaker marked FPEAU and a MPC452. The original GE MPC452 breakers seem to go bad after a few years. These are not made any more and I am trying to find a replacement for at least one. And a spare.
Does anyone here know where I could find some in the U.S.? I tried looking up the current model to replace these and no luck yet. I don’t know if these are a standard item or even if these are GFCIs. Any help appreciated.

My first choice would be Blue Seas

I could not get those numbers to come up in a search on the website. Those numbers may be proprietary GE numbers. You may need to figure out what the actual generic size is to get new ones.

I've found ones for my 85 Arcadia from them at ANY place that sells BS products, ie West Marine. While your not in Seattle, if you brought one into the store, you can see if one on the shelf will match. THats ultimately what I did as they have started to wear out after 25-30 years.

Sitting and waiting for peopl to get to next delivery stop...
Fpeau stands for a now closed up company. This link may help you find a suitable replacement.

If I'm reading betwen the lines correctly, this type of CB may not be suitable for marine applications. Replacing the panels may be a better option.

Thanks for the help. I wish I could figure out how to load pictures. For now I’m going to get a few of the “kits” from Jeanneau that include the protective electric box and the ELCI breaker. I will eventually need the box since it seems nobody is making 30 anp din mount breaker as narrow as these, 13mm
