Product FAQs
5 answersWhich load centers accept the Siemens P290 breaker?
This breaker is specifically engineered to fit legacy ITE and Siemens Pushmatic load centers. It features the signature push-button design required for these older panels.
Is the Siemens P290 the same as the ITE P290?
Yes, Siemens acquired ITE and continues to manufacture replacements under the same P290 catalog number. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy ITE Pushmatic breakers.
How do you reset the P290 after a trip event?
Unlike traditional toggle breakers, the P290 uses the Pushmatic push-button mechanism. You simply press the indicator button on the front of the breaker to reset the circuit.
How does the P290 connect to the panel busbar?
It utilizes a bolt-on connection specific to Pushmatic load centers. The breaker must be screwed directly into the busbar to ensure a secure, vibration-resistant electrical contact.
Can I use aluminum wire with the P290 breaker?
Yes, the load lugs on the P290 are rated for both copper and aluminum conductors. When terminating aluminum wire, ensure you apply an appropriate antioxidant compound to prevent oxidation and maintain a secure connection.

- GJGregg J.Verified BuyerReviewingSiemens PFP3 Filler PlateI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars8/8/25Easy to order and Quick Shipping
I needed some filler plates for an older breaker panel. Not available at any retail places I could find, thankfully Superbreakers had them. A couple minor issues: they didn't include the size specifications (L x W x D) online, which would have helped confirm they were the right fit; and they included an unrelated picture (along with the right one).
But the online order processing was easy-to-use and had all the info needed (especially the shipping options/costs, and the return policy). They also stuck to their word about getting it out in 24 hours. It arrived via UPS Ground in a respectful 5 days. They of course fit the panel and all is well.
Overall, very pleased with the company.

The part was correct,, but I was shocked when the cheapest (ground) shipping was almost as much as the part that only weighed 8 ounces. The part was $14.03 and the shipping was almost $13.00.

- KDKurt D.ReviewingSiemens P120 - 20A 1 Pole Molded Case Circuit BreakerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars5/28/20Happy with my Purchase
This is the 4th time I have used SuperBreakers and have been happy with my purchase every time. I have an old style style system in my house and the company I was using told me the old style breakers were impossible to find and charged me $80 each. Next time I needed one I found SuperBreakers had them for $15 each. I am no longer using that electrical company.
