I have an Airpax breaker model lELK1-1REC5-51-20.0-01-V.  I assume
the "20.0" is 20 amps. An accompanying Ten Tec sheet refers to it as
a Model 1140

Airpax has made and makes many breakers with the same current and speed characteristics. I think the 51 in that part refers to a pure magnetic breaker with no intended (hydraulic) delay. 20.0 refers to the current, the rest of the part number refer to package, mounting, presence or absence of auxiliary (indicating) contacts. style of operator, and color. Also it should be rated for DC 24 volts or less. So voltage, current and fast speed are the critical items. Last I looked Airpax's catalog was available on line and there have been vendors of Airpax parts, some will sell in single units. I don't have that catalog memorized anymore.
