Product FAQs
6 answersCan I install the NEF213030 in a standard residential load center?
No. The NEF213030 is a commercial-grade N-frame molded case circuit breaker designed specifically for Federal Pacific NEF and CDP panelboards. It features a bolt-on connection and will not fit in standard residential plug-on load centers.
Is the Federal Pacific NEF213030 still in active production?
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) is no longer in business, making original NEF series breakers legacy components. However, exact-fit replacements and verified original units are used to maintain existing NEF and CDP panelboards without requiring a full system upgrade.
What type of trip unit is used in the NEF213030?
This breaker utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with factory-set long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions. It provides reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection but cannot be adjusted in the field.
Does the NEF213030 require a specific mounting hardware kit?
It mounts directly into compatible Federal Pacific NEF and CDP panelboards using a standard bolt-on configuration. Ensure the panel busbars are de-energized and in good condition before bolting the breaker into place.
Can the NEF213030 be used in 480V systems?
No. This specific 1-pole breaker is rated for a maximum of 277VAC. It is typically used for 277V single-phase lighting or equipment circuits and is not suitable for 480V applications.
Is the NEF213030 rated for DC applications?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this 1-pole breaker is rated for up to 125VDC, making it suitable for specific direct current control or equipment circuits.

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.
