What NEC code limits circuit breaker selection

nec

I'm looking for a citation of the section of code that states more or less "You may only use breakers in a breaker panel that said panel lists as approved for use therein.".

What is the section number and actual verbiage as of the 2014 NEC?

Best Answer

110.2 Approval. The conductors and equipment required or permitted by this Code shall be acceptable only if approved.

110.3(B) Installation and Use. Listed or labeled equipment shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling.

Sometimes it's the basic stuff that's easiest to overlook.
