Having trouble searching out a replacement for this AC shore power circuit breaker. Currently, it's a 230v breaker but looking to swap it for 110v version.

That's not a breaker, that's a RCBO or ground-fault interruptor + breaker combo in footpounds. We've had a thread on this somewhere around here:

Keep in mind that in 120V land, the currents are usually double (because the voltage is half), but you can't just switch in a bigger breaker if that's what you were thinking, you also have to increase the size of the cabling first. Else 🔥
