Did what some others happened to do - search in disgust not finding a comparable replacement when it came to a GE box - no GE does NOT manufacture Arc-Fault Breakers for the 'mini style' breaker boxes. After frustrating searches I had found this option and once here checking around for it also found reviewers with same claim - will work in a GE mini. Gave it a try - AND - the result - it fits right - it works right - it never trips !
As another had suggested - do search and choose the right one ... my box being of 20 yrs in service needed the 'pigtail' for neutral - make sure which u have. IF current breakers have only 'hot blacks' attached - they use seperate neutrals (whites to a bar similar to grounds) - need the 'pigtail'.
ALSO found Siemens does carry a 'dual circuit' arc breaker in their arsenal which takes up 'same space' as this 'single circuit' arc breaker that takes 2 mini spaces. Of course its double the cost - but its double the value IF u need to make space or running out of it. This breaker is at the top in quality and do recommend their products - for what they verify it will fit AND for what I verify it will fit.
* AS for 'trip kick offs* - IF u run into constant trips - there is an issue - dont go n install a larger rated breaker - get some help n find the problem - its NOT the breaker !
