Product FAQs
5 answersWhich panelboards accept the Federal Pacific NES2200 circuit breaker?
The NES2200 is engineered specifically for legacy Federal Pacific NE-S frame panelboards. It features a stab-type plug-on design that mounts directly into existing commercial enclosures without requiring aftermarket adapters.
Is the NES2200 suitable for direct current (DC) systems?
Yes, alongside its standard 240VAC rating, this breaker is rated for up to 250VDC with a 5kA interrupting capacity. This allows it to be safely deployed in specialized industrial DC applications.
Can the NES2200 be back-fed in a panel?
Yes, the NES2200 is designed as a reverse-feed capable breaker. This allows the power source to be connected to the load terminals, which is often required when using the breaker as a main disconnect in certain panel configurations.
Why is the NES2200 considered a legacy replacement?
Federal Pacific Electric is no longer manufacturing new equipment. The NES2200 is sourced to help facility managers maintain existing NE-S frame infrastructure without the significant expense of a complete panelboard retrofit.
How does the trip mechanism function on the NES2200?
It utilizes a non-interchangeable thermal-magnetic trip unit with common trip functionality. The thermal element provides delayed protection against sustained overloads, while the magnetic element offers instantaneous tripping during severe short circuits.
