Built to support aging infrastructure, the Federal Pacific HFJ437100 is a 100A, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker. It is designed for commercial facilities that still rely on classic FPE distribution equipment. As an exact cross-reference for the NFJ437100 and UBIHFJ3100, this bolt-on breaker fits seamlessly into Federal Pacific panelboards. Rated for 22kAIC at 480VAC, it utilizes fixed thermal and magnetic trip units (LI) to clear faults quickly. The breaker is also HACR rated.
Which panelboards are compatible with the Federal Pacific HFJ437100?
This bolt-on circuit breaker is designed specifically for legacy Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panelboards and switchboards. It fits standard H-Frame slots, including CDP series panels configured for HFJ or NFJ frame breakers.
Can the HFJ437100 replace an NFJ-frame circuit breaker?
Yes. Federal Pacific HFJ-frame breakers share the same physical dimensions and mounting hardware as NFJ-frame breakers. The HFJ437100 can be used as a direct drop-in replacement for a 100A, 3-pole NFJ breaker (like the NFJ434100), offering a higher interrupting capacity.
What hardware is needed to mount the HFJ437100 in a CDP panelboard?
Installing this breaker into a Federal Pacific CDP panelboard requires a specific bus connection hardware kit. The aftermarket NFJ1K kit (which replaces the original OEM KCDP-3C kit) is commonly used to mount HFJ and NFJ frame breakers securely to the panel bus.
What wire gauge does the HFJ437100 accept?
The load-side lugs on this breaker are designed to accommodate wire sizes ranging from 4 AWG to 350 kcmil. Always verify that your conductor material and size comply with local electrical codes for a 100-amp circuit.
Is the Federal Pacific HFJ437100 suitable for new installations?
No. Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) is no longer in business, and their breakers are obsolete. The HFJ437100 is intended strictly as a direct replacement part to maintain and service existing legacy FPE electrical infrastructure, preventing the need for a full panel retrofit.
