What equipment is the Federal Pacific NJJ232250 designed to fit?
This bolt-on molded case circuit breaker is specifically designed for installation in legacy Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) distribution panels and switchboards that utilize the N-Frame (NJJ) footprint.
How is the NJJ232250 installed in the panel?
This is a bolt-on circuit breaker that fastens directly to the busbar in compatible FPE distribution panels. It includes load-side lugs that accept wire gauges from 4 AWG up to 600 kcmil.
Does the NJJ232250 offer adjustable trip settings?
No, this thermal-magnetic breaker features fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip elements. It provides standard long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection without field adjustability.
Is the NJJ232250 suitable for direct current (DC) circuits?
Yes, in addition to its AC ratings, this breaker is rated for 250VDC applications with a 10kA interrupting capacity, allowing it to be used for specific industrial DC loads.
Why is the Federal Pacific NJJ232250 considered a legacy breaker?
Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) ceased manufacturing operations decades ago. The NJJ232250 is sourced from remaining legacy inventory to allow facilities to maintain and service existing FPE switchboards without requiring a complete panel replacement.
