A drop-in replacement for aging Federal Pacific NB panelboards, this 45-amp single-pole breaker provides reliable thermal-magnetic protection for commercial and industrial applications. Designed to match original factory specifications, it ensures a secure bolt-on connection without the need for aftermarket adapters or modifications. Rated at 10kAIC at 120VAC, the NB111045 handles standard overcurrent and short-circuit faults. It serves as an exact match for the UBIF045NB substitute.
Which panelboards accept the Federal Pacific NB111045 breaker?
This breaker is engineered specifically for Federal Pacific NB series commercial panelboards. Because it utilizes a bolt-on mounting configuration, it cannot be installed in standard Federal Pacific Stab-Lok residential load centers that require plug-on connections.
What is the direct cross-reference for the NB111045?
The UBIF045NB is the exact modern substitute for this breaker. It matches the physical dimensions, bolt-on mounting style, and thermal-magnetic trip characteristics required for Federal Pacific NB panelboards.
What wire gauge range is supported by the terminals on the NB111045?
The load-side lugs accept both aluminum and copper conductors ranging from 14 AWG up to 2 AWG. Ensure the wiring is properly sized for the 45-amp circuit and torqued to the manufacturer specifications during installation.
What does the LI trip function code mean on this breaker?
The LI designation indicates that the thermal-magnetic trip unit provides two specific levels of protection. The 'L' stands for long-time delay, which handles sustained overcurrents, while the 'I' represents the instantaneous trip function designed to clear short circuits immediately.
Does the NB111045 offer AFCI or GFCI protection?
No, this is a standard thermal-magnetic miniature circuit breaker. It provides essential overload and short-circuit protection but does not include integrated arc fault or ground fault circuitry.
Can the NB111045 be used in place of an NC or NA series breaker?
No. The NB111045 features a bolt-on connection for commercial NB panelboards. It is not interchangeable with NC or NA series breakers, which utilize a plug-on Stab-Lok design for residential load centers.
Is the trip unit on the NB111045 adjustable?
No, the thermal-magnetic trip unit on this miniature circuit breaker is fixed. The long-time and instantaneous trip thresholds are factory calibrated for 45 amps and cannot be modified in the field.

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.
