ITE | P1520 | Circuit Breaker | 20A | 2-Pole | 240V | 10kA | Bolt-On

The ITE P1520 is a dependable bolt-on circuit breaker built for 240V electrical panels that demand precise protection for 240V, 20A circuits. Designed for maintenance, retrofit, and replacement projects, this 2-pole device delivers reliable shutoff when faults occur while preserving the original panel’s wiring arrangement.

• Amperage: 20A
• Poles: 2-Pole
• Voltage: 240V
• Interrupting Rating: 10kA
• Mounting: Bolt-On
• Model/Part: P1520
• Brand: ITE

Why this matters: the 10kA interrupting rating provides robust protection in typical residential and light commercial panels, helping to safely interrupt high fault currents. The 2-pole design ensures both legs of a 240V circuit are simultaneously protected, which is essential for shared-neutral or multi-wire branch circuits. The bolt-on mounting is a common fit for legacy enclosures and retrofit installations where plug-on breakers aren’t compatible.

Ideal use cases

Use the ITE P1520 when you’re upgrading, replacing, or maintaining a panel that requires a 2-pole, 240V, 20A bolt-on solution. It’s particularly suited for retrofit projects where legacy ITE or compatible panels expect the P1520 form factor and ratings. This breaker is a precise parts match for installations that list P1520 as the reference model.

Fit and compatibility guidance

Before ordering, verify that your panel requires a P1520-type bolt-on breaker with the same amperage and voltage specifications. The part number is the best reference for compatibility, so cross-check any panel labeling or service literature that identifies 2-pole, 240V, 20A bolt-on protection. If your panel is listed for ITE P1520, this device will integrate with the existing bus stab configuration and mounting footprint.

Practical installation tips

• Ensure the panel is de-energized and follow lockout/tagout procedures before replacement.
• Use the manufacturer’s torque recommendations when securing the breaker to the panel to maintain a solid electrical connection.
• After installation, perform a careful inspection to confirm the breaker seats fully and the wiring remains properly terminated within the lugs.

Designed for reliability in demanding panels, the ITE P1520 20A 2-Pole 240V Bolt-On Circuit Breaker is a targeted solution for situations where exact compatibility and robust protection are essential. If the part number aligns with your panel requirements, this is the precise upgrade or replacement choice to restore safe, code-compliant operation.
