A reliable solution for aging infrastructure, the Connecticut Electric UBIP220 is a 2-pole, 20A miniature circuit breaker. It delivers thermal-magnetic protection with a 10kAIC rating at 120/240VAC. This bolt-on breaker serves as a direct cross-reference for the obsolete Pushmatic P220. It mounts seamlessly into existing Pushmatic and Bulldog load centers to maintain current panels. This common-trip breaker is SWD rated for switching fluorescent lighting and HACR certified.
What load centers are compatible with the UBIP220?
The UBIP220 is specifically designed to fit existing Pushmatic and Bulldog load centers. It will not fit standard plug-on panels from other manufacturers.
Which obsolete part numbers does the UBIP220 replace?
This breaker serves as a direct replacement for the original Pushmatic P220 and Bulldog P220 2-pole, 20-amp circuit breakers.
How does the UBIP220 secure to the panel bus?
It utilizes a bolt-on mounting design unique to Pushmatic panels. The breaker fastens directly to the busbar with a screw to ensure a secure electrical connection.
Is the UBIP220 approved for HVAC applications?
Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is certified for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment requiring a 20-amp circuit.
Can this breaker be used to switch fluorescent lighting?
Yes, the UBIP220 is SWD (Switching Duty) rated, allowing it to be used as a switch for fluorescent lighting circuits without degrading the breaker mechanism.
What wire gauge range do the load lugs accept?
The terminal lugs on the UBIP220 accommodate copper or aluminum wire sizes from 14 AWG up to 6 AWG.
Does this breaker provide common trip protection?
Yes, it features an internal common trip mechanism. If a fault occurs on either leg of the 240V circuit, both poles will trip simultaneously to safely disconnect power.
What type of trip mechanism does the UBIP220 use?
It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit, providing long-time delay for overload protection and instantaneous response for short circuits.
