Finding the right fit for discontinued panelboards is critical, and this 40-amp miniature circuit breaker offers an exact match. It mounts into classic Federal Pacific Stab-Lok enclosures, restoring safe power distribution without requiring complex adapter kits. The two-pole, full-size design features a standard 10kAIC interrupt rating and reliable common trip functionality. It acts as a direct substitute for older NA series hardware and replaces the UBIF240N aftermarket alternative.
Is there a modern aftermarket replacement for the FPE NA240?
Yes, Connecticut Electric manufactures the UBIF240N [1.2.2]. This is a direct, ETL-listed aftermarket substitute designed to replace the original Federal Pacific NA240 in Stab-Lok load centers.
How much panel space does the NA240 require?
As an NA series breaker, it features full-size construction measuring 1 inch per pole. Being a 2-pole device, it requires 2 inches of total mounting space on the Stab-Lok bus bar.
Will the NA240 fit in a Federal Pioneer Stab-Lok panel?
Yes. Federal Pioneer is the Canadian brand equivalent for Federal Pacific Electric. The Stab-Lok connection interface is identical, allowing this breaker to physically mount in both Federal Pacific and Federal Pioneer enclosures.
What is the difference between Federal Pacific NA and NC series breakers?
The NA series consists of full-size breakers at 1 inch per pole, whereas the NC series features a thin, half-size design at 0.5 inches per pole. The NA240 cannot be used if your panel space or stab configuration specifically requires an NC series device.
Why are original Federal Pacific Stab-Lok breakers considered a safety hazard?
Legacy FPE Stab-Lok breakers have a documented history of failing to trip during short-circuit or overload conditions. Electricians frequently replace original FPE hardware or perform full panel upgrades to mitigate potential fire risks.
