Browse our expert-reviewed selection of Wadsworth-compatible circuit breakers for safe, code-compliant home and commercial EV charger installations.
Every breaker listed here has been handpicked by our licensed electricians and certified EV charger installers to ensure dependable circuit protection for your EV charger—whether you’re wiring a Level 1 or Level 2 unit. We’ve reviewed common Wadsworth breakers, including Type A and Type B models, as well as hard-to-find discontinued options still present in legacy panels.
At Electric Vehicle Geek, we help homeowners, contractors, and EV tech enthusiasts build and upgrade EV charging circuits with confidence. Our Wadsworth breaker reviews focus on practical, field-tested options that meet modern EV charging demands—evaluated for thermal reliability, panel fit, and continuous-load performance to avoid the nuisance of EV charging circuit breaker tripping. Each listing includes guidance on amperage sizing, single- and double-pole configurations, wiring diagrams, and EV charger compatibility.
Wadsworth panels were installed in thousands of homes across the U.S. in the mid-to-late 20th century. While original Wadsworth breakers are no longer manufactured, UL-listed replacement breakers make it possible to safely extend the life of these panels—especially when adding a dedicated EV charger circuit. In many retrofit cases, using a compatible Wadsworth breaker is the most efficient way to meet NEC load requirements without a full-service panel upgrade.
Our Wadsworth breaker reviews are based on:
Real-world EV charger installations in legacy Wadsworth panels
Hands-on testing of aftermarket and OEM-compatible Wadsworth breakers
Updated NEC guidance for continuous load applications (e.g. EVSE)
5+ years of combined experience in residential wiring and EV infrastructure
Whether you’re a homeowner wiring a 120V Level 1 charger or an installer upgrading to a 208V or 240V Level 2 charger, choosing the correct breaker is critical. Our Wadsworth breaker reviews cover key specifications such as amperage ratings from 15A to 80A, single- and double-pole configurations, panel and bus bar compatibility, and real-world thermal performance insights during continuous EV charging.
