Product FAQs
6 answersWhich panelboards accept the Federal Pacific NB232080 circuit breaker?
This breaker is engineered exclusively for legacy Federal Pacific NBLP commercial panelboards. It utilizes a bolt-on connection to secure directly to the panel bus.
Is the Federal Pacific NB232080 still in active production?
No. Federal Pacific Electric is defunct, and the NB series is obsolete. Available units are sourced from remaining legacy inventory to support existing infrastructure without requiring a full panel upgrade.
Are there alternate part numbers for the NB232080?
Yes. This 80-amp, 3-pole breaker is frequently identified by the shorter catalog number NB380. Both part numbers represent the exact same physical and electrical configuration.
What are the wire gauge requirements for the NB232080?
The factory-installed load lugs accommodate 4 AWG to 1/0 AWG wire. The terminals are rated for both aluminum and copper conductors.
Can the trip settings on the NB232080 be adjusted in the field?
No. The thermal-magnetic trip unit on this breaker is fixed, meaning the Long-Time and Instantaneous trip thresholds cannot be modified after installation.
Is the NB232080 compatible with FPE Stab-Lok residential load centers?
No. The NB series consists of commercial-grade bolt-on molded case circuit breakers. They will not fit residential Stab-Lok panels, which require proprietary plug-on connections.

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.
