Delivering 100A of thermal-magnetic protection, the Connecticut Electric UBIP2100 is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker. It provides a 10kAIC interrupt rating for 120/240VAC systems. Designed as a drop-in replacement for the discontinued Pushmatic P2100, this breaker mounts into vintage Pushmatic and Bulldog load centers. The bolt-on connection ensures a secure fit. Manufactured to modern standards, this unit is UL 489 listed and HACR rated.
What load centers are compatible with the UBIP2100 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed specifically for use in older Pushmatic and Bulldog load centers that accept Pushmatic style breakers.
Which original circuit breaker does the UBIP2100 replace?
The UBIP2100 is a direct replacement for the original Pushmatic or Bulldog P2100 100-amp, 2-pole circuit breaker.
How does the UBIP2100 connect to the panel bus bar?
Pushmatic breakers like the UBIP2100 feature a bolt-on mounting style. They secure directly to the live bus bar using a screw and hook into the side of the panel with alignment tabs.

Yes, this replacement breaker is ETL Listed to UL Standard 489, ensuring it meets modern safety and performance requirements for molded case circuit breakers.
What type of trip mechanism does the UBIP2100 utilize?
It features a fixed thermal magnetic trip unit with long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions to protect against overloads and short circuits.
Can I use the UBIP2100 to feed a sub-panel?
Yes, this 100-amp, 2-pole breaker is commonly used to feed a sub-panel or as a main breaker in compatible Pushmatic load centers, provided the panel bus is rated for the load.
Do I need to modify my existing Pushmatic panel to install this replacement breaker?
No, the UBIP2100 is manufactured to the physical dimensions of the original Pushmatic breakers, allowing for a direct bolt-on installation without panel modifications.
Does the UBIP2100 use a standard toggle switch or a push-button?
Like the original breakers it replaces, the UBIP2100 utilizes a push-button mechanism to manually open, close, or reset the circuit after a trip.
