It supports three-phase applications requiring up to 480VAC or 250VDC. The device fastens securely into Federal Pacific NEF and CDP panelboards, offering a straightforward solution for facility maintenance. It acts as an exact substitute for the standard NEF431090 configuration. With an 18kAIC rating at 240V, it meets rigorous commercial demands.

Great service & pricing
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.
