Manufactured for residential and commercial distribution, this 15A plug-on component features the distinctive Stab-Lok connection mechanism. Electricians utilize this half-inch thin wafer style to maximize space inside older Federal Pacific load centers without needing adapter kits. Carrying an SWD classification, it safely handles regular switching duties for fluorescent lighting applications while delivering standard 10kAIC thermal-magnetic protection. Replaced by the UBIF015N model.

Product FAQs
6 answers
What load centers are compatible with the Federal Pacific NC015 circuit breaker?
The NC015 is designed exclusively for use in Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok load centers. It features the proprietary Stab-Lok plug-on connection and will not fit in standard panels from other manufacturers.
How much space does the NC015 breaker require in a Stab-Lok panel?
The NC015 is a thin style breaker that requires only one half-inch space in a compatible FPE Stab-Lok load center. This allows for higher circuit density compared to the standard one-inch thick NA series breakers.
Can the NC015 replace a thick NA series breaker?
Yes, the half-inch thin NC015 can replace a one-inch thick NA15 breaker in a Stab-Lok panel. However, doing so will leave a half-inch gap in the panel deadfront cover unless a filler plate or a second thin breaker is installed next to it.
Is there a modern replacement available for the Federal Pacific NC015?
Yes, Connecticut Electric manufactures a modern replacement for the NC015 under the catalog number UBIF015N.
Are there safety concerns associated with Federal Pacific Stab-Lok breakers?
Yes. Many industry professionals and home inspectors recommend replacing FPE Stab-Lok panels entirely due to documented historical failure rates and safety concerns regarding the breakers failing to trip during overcurrent events. Consult a licensed electrician to evaluate your specific panel.
What does the LI trip function code mean on the NC015?
The LI designation indicates that the breaker provides Long-Time and Instantaneous trip functions. The long-time function protects against sustained overloads, while the instantaneous function trips immediately during a short circuit.

Purchased four circuit breakers
Was happy with all the service would’ve wished the person would inform me if I would’ve spent $15 more I could’ve got free shipping. That way I could’ve ordered another 20 amp circuit breaker. And got it for free.

Federal Pacific breakers
I wasn't sure about ordering my particular breakers online because they don't make replica replacements but found the warranty outstanding. The follow-up call as a new customer and the speed with which my order was processed and completed was superior. The price was 1/3 what the ONE local supplier charged.
