Product FAQs
5 answersWhich electrical panels accept the Connecticut Electric UBIP270?
This breaker is specifically classified for use in legacy Pushmatic and Bulldog load centers. It will not fit in modern standard load centers from other manufacturers.
What is the direct replacement for the obsolete Pushmatic P270 breaker?
The Connecticut Electric UBIP270 is the direct, newly manufactured replacement for the discontinued Pushmatic P270 70-amp, 2-pole circuit breaker.
How is the UBIP270 secured to the panel bus bar?
Pushmatic-style breakers utilize a bolt-on mounting design. The breaker pushes into the panel slot and is then bolted directly to the bus bar using a built-in captive screw, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.
What applications are appropriate for a 70A 2-pole Pushmatic breaker?
A 70-amp, 240V breaker is typically installed to supply power to subpanels, large central air conditioning condensers, or heavy-duty electric heating equipment. Electricians must verify that the wire gauge and load calculations meet local electrical codes.
What safety standards does the UBIP270 meet?
The UBIP270 is ETL Listed to UL Standard 489 for molded case circuit breakers, confirming it meets rigorous safety and performance requirements for residential and commercial electrical systems in the US and Canada.
