Product FAQs

6 answers
Which panelboards accept the Federal Pacific NB111040 circuit breaker?

This 1-pole bolt-on breaker is designed exclusively for legacy Federal Pacific NB and NBLP panelboards. It is not compatible with standard Stab-Lok residential load centers.

Is there a modern replacement available for the obsolete Federal Pacific NB111040?

Yes. The Connecticut Electric UBIF40NB serves as a direct, ETL-listed aftermarket substitute for this 40A bolt-on breaker.

How does the NB111040 connect to the panel bus?

It utilizes a secure bolt-on connection, which provides a stable mechanical and electrical contact directly to the panel bus, unlike plug-in Stab-Lok designs.

What wire sizes are supported by the load side lugs on the NB111040?

The terminal lugs accept wire gauges ranging from 14 AWG to 2 AWG.

Does the NB111040 provide both overload and short circuit protection?

Yes. It features a thermal magnetic trip unit with fixed long-time and instantaneous functions to protect against both sustained overloads and sudden short circuits.

What applications is the 40A NB111040 breaker typically used for?

This 40A, 120VAC breaker is commonly used to protect dedicated 120V branch circuits in commercial and industrial settings utilizing legacy NB or NBLP distribution panels.

    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.
