Maximizing available panel space, this 15/20A tandem breaker offers two distinct circuits within a single-pole footprint. It is built to handle standard residential and commercial electrical loads safely. Designed specifically for Pushmatic load centers, the unit utilizes a sturdy bolt-on connection for stable power delivery. It perfectly replaces older components and is cross-referenced with the UBIP1520 substitute.
What load centers are compatible with the Siemens P1520 breaker?
This breaker is specifically designed for legacy ITE, Bulldog, and Siemens Pushmatic load centers. It will not fit standard plug-on or modern bolt-on panels from other product lines.
What are the direct replacements for the P1520?
The Siemens P1520 directly replaces older ITE and Bulldog Pushmatic breakers with the exact same P1520 catalog number. It also serves as a replacement for the UBIP1520 aftermarket substitute.
Can this tandem breaker be installed in any Pushmatic panel slot?
No. Because it is a tandem breaker providing two independent circuits in a single space, it must be installed in a panel slot that is rated to accept tandem configurations.
Does the P1520 provide a 240V circuit?
No. Although it provides two separate circuits (one 15A and one 20A), it is a tandem breaker that occupies a single pole space on the bus. It provides two independent 120V circuits on the same phase, not a single 240V circuit.
How do you manually operate the P1520 breaker?
It features the classic Pushmatic push-button actuation. Instead of a standard toggle switch, you push the button on the front of the breaker to engage or disengage the contacts.
Does the P1520 offer GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker providing overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include ground fault or arc fault circuitry.

Review summary
Customers rate this product 5.0 out of 5 based on 18 reviews.
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
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.

Happy 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.
