Product FAQs

4 answers
What panels accept the Square D NC030 circuit breaker?

The NC030 is a direct replacement breaker designed exclusively for Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) and Federal Pioneer Stab-Lok load centers. Despite being manufactured by Square D, it will not fit standard Square D QO or Homeline panels.

How much panel space does the NC030 require?

This is a thin-style NC frame breaker that occupies one half-inch of space on the bus bar. The half-inch plug-on design allows for higher circuit density in compatible Stab-Lok load centers compared to standard one-inch breakers.

Can I use the NC030 to replace an original FPE single-pole breaker?

Yes, the Square D NC030 serves as a direct replacement for original Federal Pacific Electric 30A single-pole breakers. It provides updated overcurrent protection for aging Stab-Lok systems requiring an NC frame replacement.

How does the NC030 protect circuits in legacy Stab-Lok panels?

Manufactured by Schneider Electric, the NC030 provides reliable, modern thermal-magnetic trip mechanisms for aging Federal Pacific enclosures. It delivers fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions to ensure proper overcurrent and short-circuit protection.

    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.
