Rated 18 kAIC at 480VAC, this 200-amp Federal Pacific breaker provides robust thermal-magnetic protection for 3-phase commercial systems. It mounts into legacy FPE panelboards, serving as the original N-Frame component that is now cross-referenced and replaced by the NFJ632200. The bolt-on MCCB features non-interchangeable long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions, safely accommodating 4 AWG to 300 kcmil conductors in demanding industrial environments.
This N-Frame unit is specifically designed for legacy Federal Pacific panelboards. Using it allows facilities to replace failed or aging breakers without the extensive modifications required to retrofit a newer panelboard.
What conductor sizes are supported by the NFJ631200 load lugs?
The factory-installed load terminals accept copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 300 kcmil, ensuring adequate capacity for 200-amp commercial and industrial loads.
Can the NFJ631200 be used on 480V commercial systems?
Yes. While it carries a maximum voltage rating of 600VAC, it is commonly applied in 480VAC 3-phase networks where it provides an 18 kAIC interrupting capacity.
Is the Federal Pacific NFJ631200 still in production?
Federal Pacific is a legacy manufacturer, and the original NFJ series is obsolete. However, exact replacements remain available to maintain existing infrastructure, helping facilities avoid a complete electrical system overhaul.
Is the thermal-magnetic trip unit on this breaker adjustable?
No. The NFJ631200 features a fixed, non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip element. It provides dedicated long-time and instantaneous (LI) overcurrent protection that cannot be altered with external rating plugs.
Does the NFJ631200 require a specific mounting kit?
It utilizes a standard bolt-on connection natively. It secures directly to the busbars of compatible Federal Pacific panelboards without the need for aftermarket mounting adapters.
How does this breaker safely isolate 3-phase industrial faults?
As a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker, it utilizes internal arc chutes and thermal-magnetic elements to safely interrupt up to 14,000 amps of fault current at its maximum 600VAC rating, protecting equipment from thermal overloads and short circuits.
Is there a rotary handle equivalent for this NFJ breaker?
Yes. If your specific Federal Pacific enclosure or machine control panel requires a rotary disconnect, the NFJ631200R cross-reference offers the same 200A protection but features a factory-installed rotary mechanism instead of a standard toggle.
Can auxiliary components be integrated into this N-Frame breaker?
Yes, the Federal Pacific NFJ series supports optional factory or field-installable accessories. Add-ons such as shunt trips, auxiliary switches, and undervoltage releases can be utilized for remote tripping and status monitoring.
