Designed to keep older systems operational, the Federal Pacific NB100 is a 100A, 2-pole miniature circuit breaker. It provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for commercial facilities. This legacy component installs into Federal Pacific NB and NBLP panelboards, offering an exact fit. It serves as a direct cross-reference for the UBIF2100NB, ensuring seamless integration. Rated for 10kAIC at 120/240VAC, the bolt-on design delivers a secure, vibration-resistant connection to the busbar.
Which panelboards accept the FPE NB100 circuit breaker?
This breaker is specifically designed for legacy commercial systems and installs directly into Federal Pacific NB and NBLP panelboards.
Can I use this breaker in an FPE Stab-Lok residential panel?
No. The NB100 is a commercial bolt-on breaker. It will not fit in Stab-Lok enclosures, which require plug-in NA, NC, or NAJ series breakers.
What type of panel connection does the NB100 require?
It features a bolt-on mounting style. Unlike FPE plug-in breakers, this unit bolts directly to the panelboard bus for a secure commercial connection.
What wire gauge and conductor materials are supported by the NB100?
The load-side lugs are rated for both copper and aluminum (Al/Cu) conductors, accepting wire sizes from 1 AWG up to 2/0 AWG.
Are there active aftermarket replacements for the legacy NB100?
Yes, the Connecticut Electric UBIF2100NB is an ETL-listed direct substitute designed to replace the 100A, 2-pole NB100 without requiring panel modifications.
How does the thermal-magnetic trip unit function on this model?
It utilizes fixed trip settings, combining a bimetallic strip for long-time overload protection with a magnetic armature for instantaneous short-circuit protection.

Hard to find breakers
Had a project at a school built in the 1960’s and thought we were up a creek when confronted with ancient FPE commercial panels. Luckily we found what we needed with Suoerbreakers.
