Used Pushmatic 20 Amp Circuit Breakers

A used Pushmatic 20 amp circuit breaker can be an option when maintaining an older electrical panel where a specific original breaker is difficult to locate. Pushmatic equipment is considered legacy electrical equipment, and customers may seek original breakers when trying to maintain an existing installation without replacing the entire panel.

Electrical Supplies Unlimited buys and sells used and surplus Pushmatic circuit breakers. Inventory changes frequently, so contact ESU with the breaker number and panel information when looking for a particular Pushmatic model.

Any used circuit breaker should be carefully evaluated by a qualified electrical professional before being placed into service. The condition of the breaker, panel, bus connections, and overall electrical system should be considered.

Pushmatic 20 Amp Circuit Breaker Replacement

Finding the correct Pushmatic 20 amp replacement circuit breaker requires matching the breaker to the existing panel. The amperage alone is not enough to determine compatibility. The panel manufacturer, breaker type, number of poles, voltage, mounting configuration, and physical design should all be verified.

Modern replacement breakers are available for compatible Pushmatic and Bulldog panels. Some are newly manufactured replacement products rather than refurbished original breakers. For example, the UBIP120 is specifically classified for Pushmatic and Bulldog load centers and is designed as a legacy replacement breaker.

Obsolete and Hard-to-Find Pushmatic Circuit Breakers

Electrical Supplies Unlimited specializes in obsolete, discontinued, surplus, and hard-to-find circuit breakers. Pushmatic breakers are particularly relevant to this type of equipment sourcing because they are associated with older electrical panels that may still require replacement branch breakers.

If you have an older Pushmatic or Bulldog panel and cannot find the correct 20 amp breaker, ESU can help search for original, used, surplus, or replacement equipment. Providing a photograph of the existing breaker and panel label can make identification easier.
