Browse our expert-reviewed selection of Crouse-Hinds-compatible circuit breakers designed to safely support Level 1 and Level 2 EV charger installations in residential and commercial settings with Crouse-Hinds panels.
Our listings feature UL-listed replacement breakers and verified retrofit options handpicked by licensed electricians and certified EVSE installers. We evaluate each breaker’s performance, compatibility, and ability to handle continuous EV charging loads without EV charger breaker tripping – based on real-world EV charger installations.
At Electric Vehicle Geek, we guide homeowners, electricians, and EV installers through the process of safely adding or upgrading circuits for electric vehicle chargers—especially in homes with older panels like those made by Crouse-Hinds. Our reviews focus on EV charger circuit safety, breaker amperage ratings, pole configurations, wire sizing, and compatibility with today’s EVSE units. Each listing includes detailed specs, wiring diagrams, and modern replacement options from brands like Eaton or Connecticut Electric that maintain code compliance and load reliability.
Crouse-Hinds panels were widely installed in North America during the mid-to-late 20th century and are still found in many homes today. While original Crouse-Hinds breakers are no longer in production, safe, UL-listed replacement breakers and panel adapters make it possible to install EV chargers without a full panel replacement – when done correctly and inspected for safety. These modern replacements allow homeowners to future-proof their charging setup while working within the limits of their existing infrastructure.
Our Crouse-Hinds breaker reviews are based on:
Hands-on EV charger installations with legacy Crouse-Hinds panels
Testing of modern replacement breakers under continuous EV charging loads
NEC-compliant wiring practices and manufacturer-approved solutions
Decades of combined experience from EVSE-certified electricians
If you’re working with a Crouse-Hinds panel, choosing the correct replacement breaker is essential for safe EV charging. Our listings break down the specs you need – breaker series, amperage, pole type, wire size, and EVSE compatibility – so you can confidently upgrade your circuit.
