Progressive Dynamics specifies approved AC breaker families for its PD4000 and PD4500 integrated RV power centres. Their approved family lists are similar, but the main-service and converter-breaker ratings differ. Use the original manual and the unit's label to choose the correctly rated main and branch devices—not simply a breaker that looks the same.
PD4000 and PD4500 AC / DC layout
Identify the panel's model and the electrical system before selecting components. An AC breaker operates on the shore-power side; an ATC/ATO blade fuse protects its separate 12V DC circuit.

PD4000 / PD4500 manufacturer-approved breakers
| Manufacturer | Listed breaker type family | Selection guidance |
|---|---|---|
| ITE / Siemens | QP, QT | Manufacturer lists both families for main and branch use; check positions and full model |
| Thomas & Betts | TB, TBBD | Listed breaker types for the referenced PD4000 and PD4500 manuals |
| Square D | HOM, HOMT | Homeline family; verify individual approved panel and circuit arrangement |
| Cutler-Hammer / Bryant | BR, BRD | Approved type families in the referenced manufacturer manuals |
| GE | HACR | Use only if the installed panel's approval label includes this family |
| Progressive Dynamics family | AC main service | Converter circuit breaker | What differs |
|---|---|---|---|
| PD4000 / PD4045KV / PD4060KV | 30A / 120V main | 15A converter AC branch | Integrated 12V charger and fuse board |
| PD4500 / PD4560AV | 50A / 120–240V main | 15A converter AC branch | Converter itself uses 105–130V AC |
| PD4500 / PD4575 / PD4590 | 50A / 120–240V main | 20A converter AC branch | Higher-rated converter section; check exact model |
The manufacturer-approved breaker lists include QP/QT, TB/TBBD, HOM/HOMT, BR/BRD and GE HACR designs for the referenced power-centre revisions. This is a list of approved families, not blanket authorization to install any tandem breaker or change the RV's electrical rating. Check each breaker position and type on the actual panel label.
Progressive Dynamics lists the PD4000 converter's AC hot connection on a 15A branch breaker, while the PD4500 manual specifies 15A for PD4560 and 20A for PD4575/PD4590. The PD4500 AC distribution may handle two 50A hot legs, but its converter section is fed by 120V AC—not 240V directly.

These catalog cards are reference points for the specific model or breaker type. A separate product card does not mean the component is already included in a boxed power centre.

These 15A, 20A and 30A single-pole QP examples are not interchangeable. A 30A main breaker does not mean a 30A branch circuit is allowed; actual permitted ratings are in the model table above.
