A drop-in replacement for aging FPE installations, the NB111020 restores reliable 20-amp overcurrent protection to existing systems. Designed for commercial applications, this single-pole molded case circuit breaker features a secure bolt-on connection. It installs into Federal Pacific NB panelboards without aftermarket adapters, and is frequently cross-referenced with the UBIF20NB substitute. Rated for 10kAIC at 120VAC, it utilizes fixed thermal-magnetic trip technology for proven safety.
What panelboards are compatible with the NB111020 circuit breaker?
This legacy breaker is designed exclusively for Federal Pacific (FPE) NB and NBLP commercial panelboards. It will not fit in standard residential load centers that require NA or NC plug-in style breakers.
Is there a modern replacement available for the FPE NB111020?
Yes. Connecticut Electric manufactures an aftermarket equivalent under the catalog number UBIF20NB. This newly manufactured, ETL-listed replacement is designed as a direct drop-in substitute for the original Federal Pacific NB bolt-on series.
How does the NB111020 mount into the panelboard?
Unlike standard Stab-Lok residential units that simply plug into the bus, the NB111020 is a commercial bolt-on breaker. It requires mounting hardware to firmly screw the breaker directly onto the panel bus for a secure electrical connection.
Does the NB frame use the original Federal Pacific Stab-Lok technology?
Yes. While the NB111020 features a commercial bolt-on casing, its internal thermal-magnetic trip mechanisms share the same base design architecture as the original Federal Pacific Stab-Lok family.
What does the LI trip function on the NB111020 indicate?
The LI code means this breaker relies on thermal-magnetic technology providing Long-Time and Instantaneous protection. The long-time thermal element trips on gradual overloads, while the instantaneous magnetic element responds immediately to short circuits.

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.
