    Circuit Breakers and Contactors Vendors and Brands

    Need to order main circuit breaker, contactor and branch circuits breakers and few other odds and ends.

    I can piece together what I need from automation direct however my OCD would like to keep most of the stuff in the same brand.

    Any recommendations on vendor sites I should be shopping and specific quality brands? Eaton Schneider Siemens...

    This is for a three axis one phase 240v CNC Mill using DMM DYN4 drives and Servos using LinuxCNC or UCCNC.

    Hi,
    here is New Zealand many brands are represented but Schneider is one of the most common. You can get breakers, contactors, overload blocks, isolators and
    switch blocks all within one brand, Schnieder. I'm not aware that any particular brand is better than any other, at least for our purposes.

    For circuit breakers I like these, they are not DIN rail which is a drag, but otherwise they are good.

    Don't much care about the brand, they are all much of a muchness.

    I also used what was then the Telemecanique brand of P.B. Switches etc.ZB2/XB2 series, I see that China is now making a knock-off of them.
