Product FAQs
6 answersWhat type of panelboard requires the NEF213020 circuit breaker?
This specific breaker is engineered exclusively for legacy Federal Pacific NEF commercial panelboards. It utilizes a bolt-on connection and will not fit in standard residential FPE Stab-Lok load centers.
How is the NEF213020 secured inside the panel?
It features a bolt-on mounting style that fastens directly to the panelboard bus. This provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection commonly required in commercial and industrial environments.
What wire sizes are compatible with the terminal lugs on this 20A breaker?
The integrated load-side lugs accommodate a wide range of wire sizes from 14 AWG to 2 AWG, allowing flexibility for voltage drop considerations on long commercial wire runs.
Can the NEF213020 be used in DC control circuits?
Yes, while primarily used for 120V or 277V AC branch circuits, this thermal-magnetic breaker is also rated for up to 125V DC applications.
How does the trip unit on the NEF213020 operate?
It utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic (LI) trip mechanism. The thermal element provides a long-time delay for standard overloads, while the magnetic element offers instantaneous tripping during severe short circuits.
Is the Federal Pacific NEF213020 still actively manufactured?
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) is no longer in operation. The NEF213020 is a legacy replacement part sourced to maintain and service existing NEF series panelboards without requiring a full system retrofit.

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.
