Product FAQs
6 answersWhich electrical panels accept the Connecticut Electric UBIP1520 circuit breaker?
This breaker is specifically engineered as a replacement component for legacy Pushmatic and Bulldog load centers. It fits directly into existing Pushmatic enclosures without requiring panel modifications.
What original part number does the UBIP1520 replace?
The UBIP1520 is a direct aftermarket replacement for the original Pushmatic P1520 twin circuit breaker.
How does the tandem configuration of the UBIP1520 operate?
As a tandem or twin breaker, it provides two independent circuits within a single pole space. One circuit is rated for 15 amps and the other is rated for 20 amps, allowing you to maximize capacity in older, space-constrained Pushmatic panels.
What is the acceptable wire size range for the UBIP1520 terminal lugs?
The breaker terminals accommodate wiring ranging from 14 AWG to 8 AWG. Ensure proper wire sizing is used for the respective 15-amp and 20-amp circuits.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip mechanism function on this Pushmatic replacement breaker?
The breaker uses a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with LI functions. The thermal component provides long-time protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic component delivers instantaneous tripping during severe short circuits.
How is the UBIP1520 mounted inside the load center?
The UBIP1520 utilizes a bolt-on mounting style to secure directly to the panel bus bar, which is the standard installation method for Pushmatic and Bulldog load centers.
