Mounts into legacy NB and NBLP panelboards to provide high-capacity overcurrent defense. This 125-amp, two-pole Federal Pacific breaker is engineered for commercial and industrial environments requiring a reliable 120/240VAC power distribution solution. The bolt-on design ensures a stable connection to the busbar, preventing the arcing issues sometimes associated with older plug-on types. Featuring a 10kAIC rating, it serves as an exact cross-reference for the UBIF2125NB replacement.
Which panelboards are compatible with the Federal Pacific NB125?
The NB125 is a bolt-on miniature circuit breaker designed specifically for legacy Federal Pacific NB and NBLP commercial panelboards.
Is there a modern aftermarket replacement for the FPE NB125?
Yes, Connecticut Electric manufactures an ETL-listed direct aftermarket replacement for this model, available under catalog number UBIF2125NB.
What type of wire is compatible with the NB125 terminals?
The factory lug terminals on the NB125 accept both copper and aluminum (Al/Cu) conductors ranging from 1 AWG to 2/0 AWG.
How does the NB series breaker connect to the panelboard?
The NB125 features a bolt-on mounting style. It must be mechanically fastened to the panelboard busbar using hardware, which provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection compared to standard plug-on breakers.
Are Federal Pacific circuit breakers still considered safe for use?
Many legacy Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) systems have documented failure rates during overcurrent events. Although the NB series is a commercial bolt-on design rather than the heavily scrutinized residential plug-on line, industry experts and insurance providers generally recommend having existing FPE panelboards evaluated by a licensed professional for potential upgrade.
What trip functions are included on the NB125 breaker?
This breaker utilizes a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit that provides long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection. The thermal element responds to prolonged overloads, while the magnetic element trips immediately during a short circuit.

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.
