I used 2 x 30amp Potter and Brumfield circuit breakers which have worked
without a problem.
I am about to move them as per Ian Rickards installation as they do not need
to be in the panel, which means disconnecting them every time you want to
remove the panel.
Ask Ian for a photo of his very neat installation.
