The critical element is if they match the connectors in the electric panel and you use the correct amperage breaker for the wiring of the circuit. Connectors to the electric panel must match exactly because you don't want to force the replacement breaker or have it not fit when the panel cover is reinstalled.

The above stated matters to an extent but not really the issue. It is much deeper to the extent that if not UL rated for that panel or a direct replacement via corporate buy out over the years it can become A. an issue and fail inspection B. a hazard well beyond amp rating of the breaker or "fitting correctly when panel cover reinstalled" C. without being UL rated or an acceptable replacement it can become an insurance issue, that could fall on homeowner or inspector or whomever last worked inside the panel. I just grazed the surface. Some breakers are well made, some manufacturers deceive even to get UL rating when in fact they tested improperly etc...

Yes some breakers can replace challenger breakers. Often falling in line with which company bought out challenger or the rights. Read tag on load center to find out what breaker types are acceptable. Then proceed to search which manufacturers make breakers that are acceptable within that panel. wash. rinse. repeat. keep digging.

Where can you find a general switch type GDP 200 amp breaker?

Any electrical supplier should be able to get that for you. Check you local Yellow Pages for electrical suppliers. <<>> A GDP 200 is an older type breaker that was manufactured by General Switch. It had a 10KAIC (interruption capacity). This type of distribution panel was used 40 to 50 years ago. The main breaker is almost next to non existent. The main breakers were manufactured by a different company and General Switch used them in their panels. You might look on EBay under electrical breakers. The original branch circuit breakers are also hard to find but some different brands will fit. There are some sites on the net that refurbish old breakers for your type of scenario. Safety wise it is not a good idea to mix and match breakers. You might want to consider budgeting for a distribution panel change.

The consistency of the product mix refers to the degree to which a company's products are related in terms of their use, production processes, or distribution channels. A consistent product mix means that the products complement each other and align with the company's overall strategy, enhancing brand identity and customer loyalty.
