Just because someone is selling them doesn't mean they meet building codes. (esp. for residential use.) None of the dozen or so licensed electricians I've ever talked to will use them.
The breakers, I assume you mean.
None of my local Lowes stock anything you'd use in a home. (60A breakers?) [of course, their website does lie.] And some of those available online are not UL listed.
I know the one's I've seen installed (circa 1980) were delisted -- GE sent notice to the electricians that installed them.
This page: http://www.hilo-electric.com/blank?pageid=63 suggests that 2008 code still *permits* them, but neither it nor the concurring Wikipedia article mentions then category having been delisted or manufacture-decontinued. And indeed, I had little luck with Google trying to find evidence of mass delistings of GFCI breakers. Cheers, -- jr 'are we off-topic enough, now? :-)' a
