Description

Serving older facilities, the Federal Pacific NB90 offers robust long-time and instantaneous trip capabilities. This two-pole, 90-amp breaker is optimized for commercial environments. It fastens securely into legacy NBLP, NBC, NBDP, and CDP panelboards. The UBIF290NB is recognized as a modern substitute for this bolt-on frame. With a 10kA interrupting rating at 120/240VAC, it utilizes fixed thermal and magnetic settings to ensure consistent performance.

Product FAQs

6 answers
Which Federal Pacific panelboards are compatible with the NB90 circuit breaker?

The NB90 is designed for bolt-on installation in legacy Federal Pacific NBLP, NBC, NBDP, and CDP panelboards.

Is there a modern replacement available for the Federal Pacific NB90?

Yes, the Connecticut Electric UBI series offers a direct replacement for this breaker. The modern cross-reference for the 2-pole 90-amp NB frame is the UBIF290NB.

What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the NB90?

The factory lugs on the NB90 accept aluminum or copper conductors ranging from 4 AWG to 1/0 AWG.

Can I use the NB90 in place of a Federal Pacific NA90 breaker?

No. The NB90 is a bolt-on molded case circuit breaker, whereas the NA series features a plug-on mounting style. They are not interchangeable and fit different panelboard designs.

What type of trip unit is equipped on the NB90?

This breaker features a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit with long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions to protect against overloads and short circuits.

Is the Federal Pacific NB90 considered a Stab-Lok breaker?

No. The NB series consists of bolt-on molded case circuit breakers typically used in commercial applications, which are distinct from the residential Stab-Lok (NA and NC series) plug-on breakers.

    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.
