Product FAQs
6 answersWhat equipment is the Federal Pacific NP632160SP3 compatible with?
This NP frame breaker is a direct replacement component for legacy Federal Pacific switchgear and FPE distribution panels requiring a 1600A bolt-on connection.
How is the NP632160SP3 secured within the switchgear?
It mounts using a bolt-on busbar connection. This ensures a high-torque, secure mechanical and electrical connection suitable for handling 1600A industrial loads.
What does the LI trip function code mean on this FPE breaker?
The LI designation indicates the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides Long-Time and Instantaneous protection. It features a fixed thermal element for overload conditions and an adjustable magnetic element for short-circuit protection.
Why is the NP632160SP3 considered a legacy breaker?
Federal Pacific Electric is no longer manufacturing new equipment. This breaker is sourced specifically to maintain and service existing FPE industrial panels without requiring a complete system retrofit.

No. The NP632160SP3 is a heavy-duty industrial molded case circuit breaker. It is not compatible with residential Stab-Lok load centers and is strictly for commercial or industrial switchgear.
Does the NP632160SP3 include ground fault equipment protection?
No. The trip unit on this specific model only includes long-time and instantaneous (LI) functions. It does not have built-in ground fault capabilities.
