Serving as a reliable replacement for aging infrastructure, the Federal Pacific NEF111015 is a 1-pole, 15A molded case circuit breaker. It is designed to handle 120VAC commercial loads with proven thermal-magnetic trip technology. The bolt-on configuration ensures a solid, secure connection when mounted into compatible Federal Pacific panelboards. By utilizing an exact replacement, facility managers can maintain their current enclosures. It provides a 14 kAIC interrupt rating at 120VAC.
Which panelboards are compatible with the NEF111015 circuit breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for legacy Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panelboards that accept N-Frame bolt-on breakers. It allows electricians to maintain existing enclosures without a complete system retrofit.
What are the wiring capabilities for the NEF111015 lugs?
The factory-installed lugs accommodate wire gauges from 14 AWG up to 2 AWG. Installers must ensure proper torque is applied to both the bolt-on bus connections and the terminal lugs to prevent thermal issues under load.
Does the NEF111015 carry SWD and HACR ratings?
Yes, this breaker is SWD (Switching Duty) rated for controlling 120VAC fluorescent lighting circuits. It is also HACR rated, making it suitable for group motor applications in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Can the NEF111015 be utilized in DC circuits?
Yes, in addition to its standard 120VAC rating, this breaker is rated for up to 125VDC. This makes it suitable for specific control panels, battery systems, or industrial DC applications requiring a 15A 1-pole breaker.
Can the NEF111015 be installed in a reverse feed configuration?
Yes, this molded case circuit breaker is reverse feed capable. It can be safely back-fed when used in specific panelboard configurations, provided the installation meets current electrical codes.
Is the NEF111015 interchangeable with Federal Pioneer breakers?
Yes. Federal Pacific and Federal Pioneer share the exact same NEF frame architecture. This unit is a direct replacement for aging Federal Pioneer NEF111015 breakers.

Great service & pricing
Superbreakers did a great job for us. We called and asked if the breakers were actually in their possession. Withing 30 minutes they called us back (which is rare these days), and we got our breakers the next morning.
