Anyone have any experience with Techna Power Protection Corp, and can testify to their quality? I am looking at their circuit breakers as a possible replacement for some Eaton breakers...

We use them all the time.
The distributor here is within walking distance from our works. I have not heard of any problems.

For what purpose? All they make are "Miniature Circuit Breakers", aka MCBs. Even if you get the ones that are UL489 listed, they are only good for 10kAIC. If that's OK, they are no different than anyone else, but I like to warn people about using those breakers on industrial equipment. 10kAIC is pretty low in an industrial setting and a lot of larger commercial settings.

We've used them in some unique scenarios but ultimately we're using cutler hammer.

Sometimes the prices are competitive which makes it tempting.

We've not had any problems here either.
