Hi Bud, just about to use one of these, 250A $65 from Altronics, is there a problem with them?

Can you show the link to that breaker?

I download and look at the spec sheet, It looks like a clone of Cooper/Bussman circuit breaker.

I'm afraid that doesn't mean much to me? Mad in Taiwan cloning a good quality cct brkr is that ok?

The only way to find out is to buy one and put it into use and draw lots of current, check the Vdrops, temperature, inspect the build quality, etc.
Here is an example of bad cloned breaker.
