Product FAQs
8 answersWhich load centers are compatible with the UBIF230 breaker?
This breaker is designed exclusively for use in Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok load centers that accept NA-style thick breakers.
What original Federal Pacific breaker does the UBIF230 replace?
The UBIF230 (also listed as UBIF230N) is a direct replacement for the obsolete Federal Pacific NA230 two-pole 30-amp thick series circuit breaker.
How does this breaker mount into the panel?
It utilizes a plug-on mounting design specific to the FPE Stab-Lok busbar system. Ensure the panel bus is clean and free of pitting before seating the breaker.
Is this replacement breaker safety certified?
Yes, Connecticut Electric manufactures these new replacement breakers to meet modern safety standards. They are ETL listed to UL 489 standards for molded case circuit breakers.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on this 30A breaker?
The terminal lugs accept copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 6 AWG. Always torque the terminals to the manufacturer specifications.
Can I use this breaker in a Federal Pacific commercial bolt-on panel?
No. The UBIF230 is a plug-on Stab-Lok breaker. Commercial FPE panels typically require bolt-on NB-style breakers.
Is there a difference between the UBIF230 and UBIF230N part numbers?
They refer to the same Connecticut Electric replacement breaker. The N suffix is often used to designate the NA thick series frame type.
Does this breaker require a separate hold-down kit?
Standard branch circuit installations do not require a hold-down kit. However, if used as a back-fed main breaker, a panel-specific hold-down retainer must be installed per NEC requirements.
