Product FAQs
6 answersWhat is the difference between Federal Pacific NC and NA frame circuit breakers?
The NC frame is a thin, wafer-style breaker that requires only 1/2 inch of space per pole. The NA frame is a thick, standard-size breaker that requires 1 inch of space per pole. Both plug into Stab-Lok busbars, but you must verify your panel's available space and busbar configuration before selecting a replacement.
Are there modern aftermarket replacements for the Federal Pacific NC0230?
Yes. Connecticut Electric manufactures the UBIF0230N, which is an ETL-classified aftermarket replacement designed specifically to fit Federal Pacific Stab-Lok load centers requiring a thin 30A 2-pole breaker.
Are there safety concerns associated with Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panels?
Yes. Original Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok breakers have a documented history of failing to trip during overload or short-circuit conditions, presenting a significant fire hazard. Many electrical professionals recommend upgrading the entire panel. When a full upgrade is not immediately feasible, replacing faulty units with tested or certified aftermarket breakers can temporarily restore circuit protection.
How is the NC0230 circuit breaker installed in the panel?
This breaker features a plug-in Stab-Lok connection. It snaps directly onto the E-shaped or F-shaped cutouts on the panel busbar without the need for mounting screws or specialized tools.
What types of loads is a 30A 2-pole Stab-Lok breaker typically used for?
A 30A, 240V circuit is standard for residential high-draw appliances. Common applications include electric clothes dryers, residential water heaters, and small air conditioning condensing units.
What wire sizes and materials are compatible with the NC0230 terminals?
The mechanical lug terminals on this breaker accept 14 AWG to 6 AWG conductors. The terminals are rated for both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) wiring.

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.

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.
